Presently, Tibetan students can receive native language education from primary to tertiary levels, while university minority departments offer Tibetan-medium majors from computer science to secretarial studies. However, positive developments are threatened by the dire career prospects of Tibetan-medium graduates. Tibetans view marketisation as the greatest threat to ethnocultural survival, with their young generation being lured into a Chinese education by superior employment prospects. But Zenz questions the easy equation of Tibetan education as 'unselfish' ethnic preservation versus the Chinese route as egocentric careerism, arguing that the creative educational strategies of Tibetans in the Chinese education system are important for exploring and expressing new forms of 'Tibetanness' in modern China. 410 0$aInner Asia book series ;$vno. 9. 606 $aTibetans$zChina$zQinghai Sheng 606 $aTibetans$xEducation (Higher)$zChina$zQinghai Sheng 606 $aTibetans$xCultural assimilation$zChina$zQinghai Sheng 606 $aNationalism$zChina$zQinghai Sheng 606 $aCultural pluralism$zChina$zQinghai Sheng 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTibetans 615 0$aTibetans$xEducation (Higher) 615 0$aTibetans$xCultural assimilation 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aCultural pluralism 676 $a305.895/4105147 700 $aZenz$b Adrian$0876648 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453463303321 996 $aTibetanness' under threat$91957509 997 $aUNINA
