Tibetan children in rural parts will soon be sitting in new
classrooms.
China's Tibet
Autonomous Region will invest some 150 million yuan, or about
18 million US dollars to improve rural primary school conditions
and teaching standards.
The project involves over 300 schools in 57 counties in the region
and the money will mostly be used to reconstruct the rundown
buildings.
In
addition, the regional government also plans to set up an education
program for those students too far from a public school. That could
mean home schooling, virtual teaching through the Internet or
satellite schools.
