China's State Council Information Office released a landmark white paper on November 10 highlighting how investments in education and workforce development have reshaped life in the Xizang Autonomous Region. The report, titled \"CPC Policies on the Governance of Xizang in the New Era: Approach and Achievements,\" reveals a decade of progress in lifting communities out of poverty and boosting opportunities through learning.
From Challenges to Classroom Wins
With its high-altitude terrain and scattered population, Xizang once faced major hurdles in education access. But over $34.5 billion in state funding since 2012 has transformed schools, with 97.73% of students now completing compulsory education — 2% above the national average!
Smart Workforce, Brighter Future
The number of university-educated residents per 100,000 people doubled between 2010 and 2020. New workers now average 13.1 years of schooling, creating a skilled talent pool that's fueling economic growth and improving living standards.
As Xizang closes education gaps, its story becomes a blueprint for uplifting remote regions through smart policy and investment.
