in old tibet, education was backward, and there were no modern schools. there were only some 2,000 lamas and children of noble families who were eligible to study in old-style official and private schools. the majority had no access to education.
after the signing of agreement on measures for the peaceful liberation of tibet in 1951, the lhasa primary school was built in 1952, and the lhasa middle school in 1956. since then modern education has found its way to tibet. in order to develop the education sector of tibet, the central government has invested 1.1 billion yuan, and has launched many incentives, a particularly effective one being that of tibetan students receiving free education from primary school right through to college. since 1985 primary and middle schools have provided free accommodation and clothes to their tibetan students. and boarding schools have been built in farming and pastoral areas. when enrolling, colleges, professional schools and secondary specialized schools give priority to tibetan and other ethnic minorities. a number of schools and departments on tibetan culture have been established, including those specializing in the tibetan language, tibetan medicine, tibetan folk arts and history.
over the past 50 years tibet has set up an education system of tibetan characteristics, including kindergartens, primary and middle schools, secondary professional education, higher education, adult education and tv education. every tibetan has the right to be educated. by 1998 tibet had built 4 modern colleges-tibet university, the ethnic university, the agricultural and animal husbandry institute and the institute of tibetan medicine, as well as 16 secondary specialized schools of teaching, agriculture and animal husbandry, health care, tibetan medicine, economy and finance, sports, arts, posts and telecommunications, 90 middle schools and 4,251 primary schools. in 1998 the school's enrollment rate was 81.3 percent, and the registered number of pupils was more than 370,000, with tibetan students as the majority. the number of teaching staff reached 16, 000, two-thirds of which are local people, and audio-visual education has become an important method of teaching in tibet.
during the past 50 years, there have been 18,000 university graduates and 510,000 primary school and middle school graduates in tibet, of whom 40,000 are graduates of secondary specialized schools, senior middle schools and vocational schools, and 15,000 cadre-training-course graduates. nearly 7,000 people have won adult self-education diplomas from colleges of professional training and secondary specialized schools.
