Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Tibet Minzu University in Xianyang city in Shaanxi province has ceased giving instruction in Tibetan. There are over 6,000 students at the school, half of whom are Tibetans. Established in 1958 the school is China’s oldest university for Tibetan students. Teaching will now be entirely in Chinese, prejudicing against Tibetan students – including classes in traditional Tibetan medicine.
