Education in the pastoral area of southern Qinghai Province faces many difficulties and problems due to its special natural and geographical conditions, mobility of production, scattered inhabitation, poor foundation of social economy, and low starting point of education. In order to develop education in that region, we must further uplift the understanding of the strategic position of education, enhance the senses of emergency and responsibility, make great effort to combine vocational-technical education with elementary education at an early stage, maximize profits of educational investment, break self-enclosure, insist on putting the people first, make innovations in methods and measures and properly handle the relations among monastery education, traditional education and modern education.
