Students living in the Qinghai province have written to the local authorities asking for teaching to be in Tibetan as well as Mandarin, saying that none of the recently appointed 359 teachers can teach in Tibetan. They ask that Tibetan-speaking teachers are recruited for the future. There were protests in 2010 when the authorities adopted a policy of teaching in Mandarin only and its implementation was postponed.
