Once a time when education in Xizang, southwest China, was a privilege for monasteries and aristocrats, the region faced staggering challenges. Over a million serfs were denied schooling, and the illiteracy rate exceeded 90%.
Since the peaceful liberation of Xizang in 1951, a remarkable transformation has taken shape. With significant investments in education, the snowy plateau has been lit up by the power of knowledge. Today, key education indicators have reached—or even surpassed—the national average.
In just 60 seconds, we witness how education has reshaped lives and communities. This rapid journey is a powerful reminder that learning can transform even the coldest landscapes into beacons of opportunity and progress. ❄️🔥
