Educating Tibet
Investigating China鈥檚 educational reforms: children as young as four, activists say, separated from their families and forced into boarding schools to study Chinese, not Tibetan.
Schools in Tibet are changing - and not for the better, say activists. Micky Bristow investigates China鈥檚 educational reforms: children as young as four separated from their families and forced into boarding schools, it鈥檚 claimed, learning in Chinese, not Tibetan. Is this an attempt at social engineering to undermine Tibetan culture, or is it, as China claims, a bold effort to bring progress to an underdeveloped region?
