During the 55th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the China Human Rights Research Association held a themed side event in Geneva on March 14, local time, to discuss the "right to education of ethnic minorities in modern development" using China's Tibet and Xinjiang as examples. .

After the meeting, reporters from China News Service interviewed Liang Junyan, a researcher at the Institute of History at the China Tibetan Studies Research Center, Jia Chunyang, executive director of the Economic and Social Security Research Center at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, and an associate professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at Xinjiang University. Tursun Abai.

　　Liang Junyan, a researcher at the Institute of History of the China Tibetan Studies Research Center, said that boarding is a common education method in China. Children from some high-altitude areas in Tibet go to Lhasa to study. The school provides them with very good conditions and the teachers are also very serious and responsible. .

"Students can play football on the large playground, and the cafeteria is very clean. There are also cultural interest groups such as traditional Tibetan dance, Tibetan musical instruments, and Tibetan calligraphy."

　　Jia Chunyang, executive director of the Economic and Social Security Research Center of the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, believes that these accusations are ridiculous.

"Field surveys and anonymous questionnaires show that most students are very satisfied with their study and living conditions. Real first-hand information proves that boarding schools in Tibet are very well run and are well adapted to Tibet's vast territory and sparsely populated natural conditions."

　　Tursun Abai, an associate professor at the School of Journalism and Communication of Xinjiang University, said that the boarding education policy is implemented throughout China. Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, and many schools are far away from students' families.

In order to ensure the personal safety of students and provide a comfortable learning environment, Xinjiang has invested a lot of money to provide school accommodation, food and other assistance to children living in remote areas, fully protecting their right to education.
