Synopsis

I see that Beijing is very beautivul through TV. I shall study hard to be able to get there for further study." Quzhag Qoinpe, a teenager living in Jiuli County told us his dream when he accepted a lift in our car to his high school in the county seat. The 13-year-old boy was born and broght up on the grassland. The year 2001 witnessed realization of a new step of the grass-roots education system in tibet: each township having at least a primary school and each county having at least a high school. This meant a lot him, because in the same year he had finished his primary schooling in the township, and become the first high school student in his family for generations! His father took him on horse back, climbing over two high mountains to the high school n the county seat. Unlike life during the nomadic primary school days, he would lead a brand-new boarding school life from then on. His home was not terribly far from the county seat, it took them just a day by horse back if they took the shortcut. So his father carried him by horseback home every weekend. But in the beginning of this semester, his father was still grazing in the winter range, so the boy had to walk alone for five hours to the Nearest high way to find a lift. Nowadays more and more Tibetan teenagers like Quzhag Qoinpe have cherished the hopie to go to Beijing, and even abroad for futher study. Especially in this year when it is broadly reported that ten postgraduates have been turned out by Tibet University and the Tibet Institute of Traditional Tibetan Medicine and obtained masters degrees for the first time in Tibetan history. Pursuing higher educational soon became the new goal amiong many young Tibetan students.
