Tibetan students in Beijing take test before they return home

More than 260 students from Beijing Tibet Middle School in the capital's Chao-yang district took part in the national college entrance exam on Saturday.

The school, a testing venue for the examination, had closed all its classrooms for facility and signal checks on Friday afternoon.

On the last day before the exam, the school opened its library for third-year students. The 260 students taking the test, all from the Tibet autonomous region, also gathered for their last self-study session in the classroom.
