Data on Bilingual Education

CHART A4.1. Tibetan Children Who Attend Bilingual School, by Province

NOTES: The figures above are for Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures only. Information is from interviews with prefecture education departments. Percentages of Tibetan schoolchildren out of total numbers of schoolchildren in each area are calculated on the basis of the 1990 national census figures. These may not be completely accurate, since it is possible that fewer Tibetan children go to school than, for example, Han children and that non-Tibetan schoolchildren, including Han children, sometimes attend bilingual (Tibetan) schools.

TABLE A4.8. Data on Bilingual Education in Malho (Huangnan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, 1999

NOTES: There are quite a few inconsistencies between the figures given to us in our interview with prefecture officials (in parentheses) and the written information we received after the prefecture officials had telephoned each county government for more detailed information. Also, the numbers provided by officials in two of the counties do not match those provided by the prefecture officials. Figures from interviews with county governments are in parentheses.
