China Shuts Down Another Tibetan School in Golog

Chinese authorities shut down Gangjong Ancient and Modern Sherig School in Golog, eastern Tibet, on June 24, 2026, according to Tibet Post International. The school was founded on July 6, 2008, by Tulku Hungkar Dorjee Rinpoche near Lung Ngon Monastery in Gade County. It taught Tibetan language and culture, along with English, painting, thangka, calligraphy, and other traditional arts. The report said authorities had blocked new student enrollment for two years after Rinpoche refused to introduce Chinese Communist Party ideology courses. The closure came after the school’s last 30 students completed their studies.
