Xizang's education has dramatically improved since its establishment, with better facilities, teaching, and investment. Funding rose from 3.48 million yuan in 1965 to nearly 40 billion yuan in 2024, with a total investment exceeding 381 billion yuan.
By 2024, a modern education system covered preschool to higher education. The number of schools, students, and teachers has significantly increased. Government support includes free meals, lodging, and tuition.
Enrollment rates are high, exceeding national averages. The Lhasa Experimental Primary School emphasizes Tibetan language and offers diverse elective courses.
A higher education system includes graduate programs. Seven institutions enrolled 50,800 students in 2024. Universities are developing first-class disciplines and expanding programs, including the Xizang University of Tibetan Medicine, which preserves and publishes ancient texts.
