China Closes Three Tibetan Schools in Golog, Raising Cultural Preservation Concerns
Chinese authorities have closed at least three privately run Tibetan schools in Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture over recent weeks, according to the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). These closures have affected hundreds of children by ending Tibetan-medium education and raising concerns about cultural preservation. The CTA alleges this is part of a broader policy to assimilate Tibetan children into Mandarin-language state schools. Increased surveillance in the region has limited independent information, and the closures are seen as impacting Tibetan language and cultural rights.
