School makes big strides for Lhasa
Beijing's support over 20 years lifts Tibet out of illiteracy
The Lhasa-Beijing Experimental Middle School last year sent more than 80 percent of its graduates on to higher education, a remarkable feat for a fledgling institution that just opened a year ago.
The bilingual school is a model for educational cooperation between Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet autonomous region, and other cities in China. It received construction funding of 220 million yuan ($35 million) from the Beijing municipal government.
