Criticism of China’s boarding school system

The chairwoman of the Human Rights Committee in the German Bundestag, Renata Alt, has condemned the boarding school system in Tibet “in the strongest possible terms”. The liberal FDP politician accuses the Chinese government of systematically eradicating Tibetan culture. “China is trying to systematically eradicate the Tibetan minority through inhumane measures such as forced assimilation and re-education of up to one million children. China’s boarding school system is another gross human rights violation committed by the Communist Party against the Tibetan people.”
