Education

After coming into exile, His Holiness the Dalai Lama placed education as one of the highest priorities of his leadership in his quest to preserve the Tibetan culture in exile, believing that the Tibetan children are the main source of hope for a future Tibet.

In 1960 Department of Education was set up with following objectives;

To oversee the educational needs and welfare of the Tibetan children in exile. http://www.sherig.org/

To provide primary education for every Tibetan refugee child in order to achieve 100% literacy among the Tibetan refugee community.

To inculcate values of personal integrity and universal responsibility.

To develop modern scientific and technical education and skills, while preserving and promoting Tibetan language and culture.

To address human resource requirements of the Tibetan community in exile and a future free Tibet.

The Department is responsible for all Tibetan schools in exile, 106 kindergartens, 87 primary level, 44 middle level, 21 secondary level and 13 senior secondary level schools, with total enrollment of over 25,000 students. It is greatly helped by the Indian government, many other organisations, NGOs and lots of individual sponsors and donors.

At the Tibet House Trust, we try to help the Department of Education achieve its objectives , through raising funds for projects like school buildings, research and development of text books, sponsoring school children, finding university scholarships, and providing training.
