The Internet has provided students with easy access to outside information and is one of the amazing windows for Tibet young people to view the fascinating world outside. It's almost same exciting for you to feel the breeze from the plateau as Tibet young boys and girls to explore the world at the other side of the great snow mountains.
As society develops, educators have begun to pay much attention to the internet education. China's People's University and the Tibet Financial School recently launched an internet school in Tibet, as an important driving force to promote education in Tibet. As part of efforts to develop China's Western Regions, distance-learning plays an important role in promoting education, and economic and social development in China's western regions.
Based in the computer classroom at Tibet Financial School, over 100 students are enrolled to study specifically through the internet. People's University provides multimedia teaching, which enables the students to see the teachers' teaching and if they have any questions, discussions or chats on the internet between students and teachers are arranged every week.
The class is mainly aimed at adults and the courses are all vocational -- practical subjects relating to their work. Thus the teaching level is equivalent or even higher than that given to the full time students, especially in relation to their thesis because they have practical experience.
Tibet has set itself a challenging target -- to popularize the 9 years compulsory education by 2010 and eliminate illiteracy. Now many schools have been installed with computers and learning computer has become popular.
In the famous Saga Monastery, a lot of computers have been used. The visitors can find the history and relics of the monastery through the computers. In addition, they are also used in selling the tickets.
