The school we visited had mostly 3-6 year old children.
Tibetan schools consist of 5 primary years and 3-4 secondary years.
A test must be taken to enter high school for 3 years.
The children learn the Tibetan language the first 5 years then
Mandarin Chinese. Some classes are in Tibetan, others in
Mandarin Chinese.
Primary school days are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then from 3:30 to 6
p.m. There is no heat in the school buildings, so the
school break is January through March and August.
