Learning in harmony
Students write as part of a lesson at Nyingchi No 2 Primary School in the Tibet autonomous region in May. Students reap rewards of shared, inclusive development in the Tibet autonomous region, Alexis Hooi reports in Lhasa and Nyingchi. It's thanks to the help and support from the Xizang government, its policies and subsidies for needy ethnic students like myself," he says, using the Chinese name of the Tibet autonomous region. The university library, for example, with its more than 800,000 books covering the ethnic Tibetan and Han languages, 2,400 traditional wood prints, 16,000 ancient works, 5,000 foreign language publications, and nearly 30 terabytes of digital data on other resources such as e-books, academic papers, and teaching materials, provides an invaluable, comprehensive channel for enriching his medical studies and life, he says. "Ethnic Tibetan and Han students here all help to complement each other's studies," Penba Tashi says.
