For lots of children English isn't their first language which gives them a disadvantage at school as their lessons will be in English. Parents of minority ethnic groups might not speak English which means that they might not be able to help/support their children with homework and their education. This lack of English has been linked to poorer educational achievements. Some ethnic minority groups might not be able to find information about schools which makes it difficult to make sure that their child attend the best school possible for them.
