Qinghai makes teaching Tibetan a priority
Qinghai has a population of 5.8 million, 25 percent of whom are ethnic Tibetan, according to official statistics from 2015. The province has five Tibetan autonomous prefectures - Yushu, Hainan, Haibei, Huangnan and Golog - as well as the Haixi Mongol and Tibetan autonomous prefecture. Each has regulations to protect the public's right to use and learn the Tibetan language.
To facilitate language learning, the education authority has translated more than 130 sets of books from Mandarin to Tibetan. The province spends 17 million yuan a year publishing books on mathematics, physics, chemistry, art and physical education in Tibetan, and provides them free of charge to students.
"The channels for learning Tibetan are more diverse than before," said Tashi Dawa, a resident of Gonghe county in the Hainan Tibetan autonomous prefecture.
