Although the policy claims to promote bilingual education, it is in practice, leading to the gradual replacement of Tibetan by Chinese as the medium of instruction in primary schools throughout the region, except for classes studying Tibetan as a language. This report details how state polices now mean that more primary schools and even kindergartens use Chinese as the teaching language for Tibetan students, and documents the impact on Tibetan families and children. Since the policies were introduced, Tibetans have staged protests against them, and written documents by students, scholars, and others attest to continuing concern about the direction of China's education policies for Tibetans. Human Rights Watch urges the Chinese government to ensure that all Tibetan children can learn in and use Tibetan, to end policies that erode access to mother tongue education, and to end repression of peaceful activism in support of language rights. 650 0 $a Language and languages $x Study and teaching $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $z Tibet Autonomous Region. 650 0 $a Education, Bilingual $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $z Tibet Autonomous Region. 650 0 $a Language and education $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $z Tibet Autonomous Region. 650 0 $a Language and culture $x Social aspects $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $z Tibet Autonomous Region. 650 0 $a Tibetan language $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Protest movements $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $z Tibet Autonomous Region. 700 1 $a Richardson, Sophie, $e editor. 710 2 $a Human Rights Watch (Organization), $e publisher. $e publisher. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017015204.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9705DB8E403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
