Tenzin Paldon is a student from Lhasa. The Tibetan language course is her favorite.

Tenzin Paldon, student of Beijing Tibet middle school, said, "Every time I take this class, I feel differently, I feel so close to my family."

The Tibetan language course not only provides students with knowledge of grammar, but also Tibetan history and literature. The course offers students the latest teaching equipment which is welcomed by students.

"If it's about their own culture, they are very interested. Sometimes they are not even satisfied with one course per week," said Nyima Ngodup, a Tibetan language teacher.

Other than the Tibetan Language, students here take the same lessons as Han students. Everyone here has just submitted their application to their dream university.

Tenzin Paldon said, "I applied to the Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing, I want to study Human Resources and then recruit more talented people for Tibet."

These Tibetan students were strictly chosen to study here after finishing their primary school. And over 98 percent of the high school graduates were accepted by universities.

Shang Wei, head of students' affairs office, said, "Since 1987 when this school was established, we have helped 13-hundred junior high students graduate, and over 3-thousand senior high school students graduate. 2000 of our graduates went to college. They receive the same education as Han students as well as the education of their own culture."

There are currently 28 Tibet middle schools outside the Autonomous Region in the country. Since their establishment, over 20 thousand Tibetan students have graduated, and most of them have returned to Tibet, for the development of their home towns.
