Chinese Compulsory

Discontentment amongst Tibet's youth has further increased in view of compulsory Chinese language education.

In all the newly-built schools in Tibet, Chinese is taught as the main language. The children are taught to praise the Chinese Communist party and its leaders and to denounce the Tibetan religion, culture and customs.

Chinese troops are also training young Tibetan women in guerilla warfare. About 4000 women were said to have completed courses, according to Radio Lhasa.

It is also reported that Tibetans of both sexes between the ages of 15 and 30 are given military training. The trainees are called "Dhoulernka" or vanguards.

All these measures taken by Chinese authorities have resulted in youth rebellion throughout Tibet.—November, 1965.
