Tibet teaching diary by volunteer from Fudan
Bepa Wanqan Primary school is located by the 318 National Road in Nyingchi Prefecture. When we first arrived here, the facilities of this school are much beyond our expectation. The principal of Bepa Wanqan Primary school told us that it's the stable and high quality teachers that they lacked. That is to say, the software infrastructure lags far behind the hardware facilities here.
I went to the classroom which I took charge of. I told the students cleaning works should be done. Students immediately started with clear labor division—some were sweeping the floor, some were drawing water from the stream, while others were moving the chairs and tables. Several minutes later, I was surprised to find myself standing in a brand-new classroom.
I never had thought children here could be so active and efficient. Later on, I learnt that these kids had been living in the school since grade one, they have got used to eating, wearing and cleaning by themselves. When they have meals in the canteen, they would line up voluntarily.
I do hope that more people can come to Tibet and experience the tremendous changes Tibet has gone through. People's living conditions here have been much improved. Most importantly, I hope that more and more people can help these children and bring more warmth and care to them.
September 10 marks the Teacher's Day of People's Republic of China. On January 21, 1985, the Ninth Session of the Sixth Standing Committee of the National People's Congress formally decided to set Sept.10 as the National Teacher's Day. Over the past 27 years, China has celebrated this day for the important role teachers play for education on every 10th of September. Various activities to pay respect to teachers are held throughout China.
