Tibetan Scholars Urge UN Action on School Closures in Tibet

A petition signed by 100 Tibetan scholars has been submitted to the United Nations, urging China to stop closing Tibetan private and monastic schools. Organized by Tibet Times, the petition calls for the reopening of closed schools, protection of Tibetan culture, and accountability for China's violations of international human rights agreements. The move follows China's intensified efforts to assimilate Tibetan culture, including converting schools to Chinese-medium education and closing prominent Tibetan schools. The petition also demands international advocacy to highlight China's actions against Tibetan identity.
