Six of them will be invited from different socio-economic status for more individual deep interviews; the researchers come to ten conclusions from the results and discussions.

(E) Parents facing the problem of children''s ethnic identity, the future success and competitiveness get into a dilemmatic situation. (F) Mainstream cultural courses make children face the huge gap between the school and the tribe earlier, and indirectly lead to the loss of the ethnic and cultural life. ( G) Parents look forward to creating a "immersion" learning environment in the tribe to implement the ethnic cultural primary education. (H) Parents expect the curriculum and instruction of childcare centers should include the global trends and the environmental changes in order to learn the knowledge of modern society.

(J) Only professional teachers familiar with the traditional culture have the ability to develop the local curriculum and instruction.
