Thus the beliefs andpractices are greatly influenced or have prejudice opinions on the basis of ethnic factors Theethnicity has significant impact upon the education attainment and achievements of children'sespecially those in primary age groups (Turner, Jensen-Doss and Heffer, 2015). The essay willidentify various aspects in which child achievements are affected by ethnicity. It will also discussvarious literature perspective on impact on ethnicity on child education, development andattainment level.

The difference in ethnicity and learning environment ofchild has huge impact upon the growth and development of the children.

The native children tend to bemore confident as they feel a sense of more secure and safe environment as compare to theethnic minor students.
