The issue of educational equity is a hot topic of concern to the whole society. Some researchers have found that there is a lack of educational opportunities for ethnic minority groups in China and the United States, but there is still a lack of unified explanation for the causes, current situation, and the advantages and disadvantages of solutions to the problem of educational equity for ethnic minorities in both countries. Therefore, this article conducts research on the education situation of ethnic minorities in both countries by collecting relevant data and summarizing and analyzing the data. Research has found significant differences in the causes and current situation of ethnic minority education issues between China and the United States, and there is also room for improvement in existing solutions. Therefore, China and the United States need to develop precise measures that are suitable for their own specific situations based on their respective special circumstances to address the issue of educational equity faced by ethnic minorities.
