Abstract:
Under the Inland Tibetan Classes and Schools Policy, China has trained a large number of personnel to facilitate the social, economic, and cultural development of Tibet. This study used a multistage, random sample survey to collect data on the comprehensive qualities of two sample groups of personnel in Tibet: graduates and nongraduates of inland Tibetan classes and schools. Comprehensive qualities included basic qualities, professional qualities, and work attitudes. The data show that graduates of inland Tibetan classes and schools scored four or more percentage points higher than nongraduates. In particular, graduates showed more significant strengths in terms of technical proficiency and adaptability to environment. The implementation of the inland Tibetan classes and schools policy has therefore had a positive effect on the formation of graduates’ comprehensive qualities and a relatively significant impact on their long-term educational outcomes.
