China Closes Three Tibetan Schools in Golog Citing Administrative Issues
Chinese authorities have closed three private and community-run Tibetan schools in Machen County, Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, between late August and early September 2026. The schools—Gangjong Grassland Girls' School, Jasag Village Boarding School, and Golog Tadra Orphan School—served local Tibetan children and were reportedly shut down due to administrative issues, including lack of required permits. Community efforts to convert one school into a state-affiliated institution were reportedly rejected, raising concerns about Tibetan-language education and cultural preservation in the region.
