Subject: education in Tibet (4)
***********************************************************

On education in Tibet: in the general literature on Tibet, you would also
find a large literature on Tibetan education before the Chinese, and that
includes education in language, religion-Buddhism, philosophy, medicine
etc etc, that has been partially revived after Mao. (Buddhism is all about
"teaching" and "learning". )

-- Tibet experts can make better suggestions, but I'd check books by
scholars like Matthew Kapstein, Melvyn Goldstein, Gray Tuttle, and many
others.

On Post-Mao Tibet, these might also be good:

Teaching and learning in Tibet: A review of research and policy
publications. By Ellen Bangsbo; Nordic Institute of Asian Studies.
Copenhagen: NIAS; [London: Taylor & Francis], 2004.

On the margins of Tibet: Cultural survival on the Sino-Tibetan frontier.
By Ashild Kolas; Monika P Thowsen. Seattle; London: University of
Washington Press, 2005.

+ you find a wealth of information, and many more worthwhile citations, in
Naomi Furnish Yamada's PhD dissertation, which is on contemporary minority
education and with lots on Tibetan areas:

Education as tautology: Disparities, preferential policy measures and
preparatory programs in Northwest China. By
Yamada, Naomi C.F.. University of Hawai'i at Manoa, 2012. ProQuest, UMI
Dissertations Publishing. 3534561.

+ There used to be a "Tibet Film and Video List" online, compiled by Tom
Grunfeld, with 800+ titles. But I can't find it now? However, this list
seems to also list films about schools, etc.:
