Abstract :
This paper argues that the most essential course of the issue is education system and policy reformation in the UK. The paper presents some key points to discuss; education equalities, educational achievement, students’ exclusion, and refugee education, which stress on the issues of students from ethnic minority. This paper could be the starting point to make further analysis toward the future implementation of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the United Kingdom especially related to the education for ethnic minority students. My major interest on education for ethnic minority students in the United Kingdom is based on two particular reasons. First, United Kingdom is a multicultural country where its society becomes a melting pot of a various ethnic minorities. Secondly, there are some special conditions in the UK education system especially related to students from ethnic minorities. As discussed earlier, education system and ethnic minorities in the United Kingdom will be closely associated with the issues of racism, discrimination, and the rigidity of education policies in the United Kingdom
