Areas was released, placing special emphasis on the education in
severely
impoverished
areas
where
ethnic
minorities
are
concentrated. For example, the quality of the teaching workforce in
Xizang has improved remarkably through initiatives such as the
Rural Teacher Support Program, national and regional training
programs. Xizang has provided 15-year free education from
preschool to high school and various subsidies for registered college
students. With the support of the East-West Cooperation Action Plan
for Vocational Education, many vocational schools in developed
areas enroll students from registered impoverished families to
enhance talent training quality. There are also various preferential
policies such as free medical education for students from agricultural
and pastoral areas, special admissions for students from agricultural
and pastoral areas by key universities, targeted education programs
in various cities, and special admissions programs in inland
universities. These efforts have significantly increased the
proportion of children from farmer and herder families receiving
higher education.
Drawing from China’s experience, we therefore suggest
implementing relevant systems tailored to national conditions and
promoting access to quality education for minority groups.
