education is the foundation of a century-long plan. for tibet, it is an important task to improve the local education level. since the 18th cpc national congress, beijing has taken the lead in launching "group-style" education aid to tibet in 2014. in 2016, beijing's "group-style" aid to tibet model was affirmed by the central government, and the lhasa beijing experimental middle school, invested and built by beijing, became the starting school and model school of the national "group-style" education aid to tibet.
as of august 2023, beijing has sent a total of 299 "group-style" education talents (339 person-times), leading the way among all provinces and cities that provide counterpart assistance. the counterpart-aided lhasa beijing experimental high school and lhasa beijing middle school were rated as the first batch of model high schools in the autonomous region; lhasa experimental primary school was rated as a model school for ethnic unity in the autonomous region, becoming a high-quality school recognized by lhasa teachers and a satisfactory learning base for the tibetan people.
from august 30 to 31, 2024, beijing youth daily reporters visited lhasa beijing experimental middle school, lhasa doilungdeqen district no. 5 kindergarten, etc. to learn about the changes brought about by beijing's education aid to tibet.
hidden in my heart is the complex of teaching
he has been assisting tibet for 6 years and has become the principal of a famous school
located in the center of lhasa, tibet, lhasa beijing experimental middle school is a full-time boarding middle school founded in 1978. in 2014, the school was officially renamed "lhasa beijing experimental middle school", and beijing invested a total of 250 million yuan in the school.
on august 30, a reporter from beijing youth daily met liang xin, the principal of beijing experimental middle school in lhasa. liang xin, 42, is from the affiliated middle school of capital university of economics and business. he has had a passion for teaching in rural areas for many years. since he started working in 2004, he has signed up for any teaching opportunities, but due to the heavy workload, he has not been approved. in july 2018, the beijing municipal education commission selected a new batch of cadres to assist tibet. liang xin signed up immediately after learning the news. after fighting for it, he was allowed this time.
"i have always longed for tibet and wanted to come here." liang xin told the beijing youth daily reporter that according to the arrangement of his superiors, he came to lhasa beijing experimental middle school to serve as the vice principal of moral education. "i found that the school's hardware construction and teaching staff are much better than i imagined, and the students are very simple. now i think that the previous cadres and teachers who came to tibet have laid a good foundation."
faced with the new job on the qinghai-tibet plateau, liang xin first conducted a survey of the school's situation and after a period of time made a three-year plan.
liang xin discovered a strange phenomenon on campus - students' rice bowls were everywhere, which was neither hygienic nor elegant. this was rarely seen in schools in beijing. he learned from school officials that students were not allowed to place rice bowls in dormitories and classrooms, and there were no public tableware on campus. later, liang xin asked the school cafeteria to provide public tableware, which solved this problem.
liang xin also conducted food conservation education in the school, telling the children to eat well and eat enough, but not to waste food. after a week, the students were very conscious and would take food according to their estimated amount, without throwing away food. this was beyond the expectations of the local teachers at the time, and an iron plate on the dining table that was used to hold excess food was removed.
liang xin believes that it is very important to cultivate students' abilities, so he guides students to form student unions and student clubs on campus, allowing children to become teachers' assistants.
"the school is not short of buildings, but it is short of teachers' change of consciousness." liang xin believes that students' abilities should be cultivated more and he believes that children can do better. "i often ask myself in my mind, if i were the principal, how should this school develop."
after a long time, liang xin found it difficult to leave the teachers and students of the school, so in 2022 he volunteered to serve as the principal of the school, and was finally approved by the higher authorities.
liang xin believes that beijing's aid to tibet has played a significant role in promoting the development of local education, both in terms of hardware and software. "i want schools to achieve the change from blood transfusion to blood production, and this goal is gradually being achieved."
teachers in tibet support the cause silently
local authorities began to attach importance to the cultivation of students' abilities
in july 2022, song dongming, who worked at beijing no. 10 middle school, came to lhasa beijing experimental middle school as vice principal, engaging in teaching management, teaching and scientific research, etc.
"the first thing i did when school started was to go to the classroom and listen to the lectures to find out the problems that the teachers were facing at work." song dongming found that some teachers often asked closed questions and asked students to answer "yes" or "no". after pointing out the problems, many teachers made changes and adjustments.
in addition, song dongming also led teachers to carry out teaching and scientific research, and promoted exchanges and interactions between teachers in lhasa, tibet and beijing. since this year, the group-based aid to tibet has also been upgraded and transformed in education. last semester, 30 students from lhasa beijing experimental middle school went to beijing yanhua affiliated middle school for a two-month visiting study. the children not only broadened their horizons in this activity, but also gained more cultural knowledge.
"the school previously had the hongzhi class. with the development of the economy, it was decided to change the names to the young eagle class for junior high school and the soaring class for high school. this illustrates the transformation of our aid to tibet work." song dongming introduced that in order to make the transition from blood transfusion to hematopoiesis, she and her colleagues in tibet aid had to train a team of teachers for the school that could not be taken away, and now more and more local teachers in lhasa are involved in management work.
high school geography teacher baima quji came to lhasa beijing experimental middle school in 2015 and witnessed the school's development.
"every time i walk through the campus, i am pleased to see students reading in many corners." baima quji said that in terms of teaching methods, the school pays more attention to the cultivation of students' abilities and qualities.
"when we were designing the teaching plan, the teachers in tibet taught us step by step and strictly checked every word and punctuation mark. only when they met the requirements could they go to the podium." baima quji said that at first she stood on the podium alone to give indoctrination lectures. later, according to the guidance of the teachers in tibet, she added interactive sessions and changed the content of some tests to students speaking on the podium first, and then she analyzed the correctness of the content. the students' grades are getting better and better, and they are becoming more confident in speaking. "this is inseparable from the help of the teachers in tibet."
dawa quxi is a sophomore student in the young eagle class of beijing experimental middle school in lhasa. she has become pen pals with middle school students in beijing and communicates with them regularly. in october 2023, she and her classmates participated in a study exchange activity in beijing, went to the campus of beijing normal university yanhua middle school to study with their classmates, and gained a special learning experience. "thanks to the help given to us by the people of beijing, when i grow up, i hope to become a lawyer who defends the dignity of the law," she said.
it is reported that through the "group-style" aid to tibet by educational talents, lhasa beijing experimental high school has achieved excellent results in both the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, with the college entrance examination results increasing from 41.55% for undergraduates and 9.74% for key universities in 2015 to 97.53% for undergraduates and 81.59% for key universities in 2024. over the past ten years, the undergraduate rate has increased by nearly 56 percentage points, and the key university rate has increased by nearly 72 percentage points.

primary school sets up mental health education studio
during an interview, the beijing youth daily reporter learned that beijing's teachers in tibet not only pay attention to the learning and physical fitness of local children in lhasa, but also began to set up mental health education studios in primary schools.
as the main window for beijing's education aid to tibet, lhasa experimental primary school established the "wang yuping mental health education studio" of haidian district continuing education school, and held a launching ceremony on august 15, 2023.
wang yuping, a psychological teaching and research member of the haidian district continuing education school, and lin jie, the vice principal who came to lhasa experimental primary school in 2022 (from beijing yuquan primary school and a key teacher of mental health in beijing), are paying attention to the development of mental health education for students in lhasa experimental primary school.
since the establishment of the studio, vice principal lin jie has often communicated with wang yuping online through telephone, video, etc. on issues arising from the school’s student mental health work, and asked teacher wang to supervise and guide her work.
lin jie selects themes of group counseling according to the characteristics of students of different grades, such as self-confidence education and adolescent education, and uses lectures, cognition, operation, performance, role-playing and behavior training to stimulate students' inner motivation to participate actively and gain insights from the activities. more and more students have opened up their psychological channels and solved their psychological confusion through the psychological counseling box opened by the school.
in addition, lin jie has also carried out relevant research and work on improving the mental health education capabilities of teachers and class teachers. in october 2023, a psychological workshop titled "just experience - teacher emotional adjustment" was held for the mathematics and arts and physical education teaching and research groups to help teachers gain motivation and a sense of happiness, improve teachers' psychological application and communication abilities, promote teachers' mental health, help teachers understand students' psychology, and adopt better communication skills and teaching methods.
