Gansu to recruit volunteer teachers for Tibetan kindergartens

Northwest China's Gansu province will recruit 200 college students to be volunteer teachers in Tibetan kindergartens according to the Gansu Provincial Educational Bureau. The recruitment will start in March and the 200 teachers will be distributed across 100 schools in Tibetan areas.

The volunteer teachers will be selected from students majoring in preschool education and will be selected from seven colleges and universities, including Lanzhou City University and Northwest Normal University, located in the provincial capital, Lanzhou city.

Dan Zhita, vice director of the Gansu Provincial Educational Bureau said that kindergartens in Tibetan areas are in need of teachers. Volunteer teachers would help solve the dilemma, improve the education quality in Tibetan areas and the kindergartens would provide jobs for colleges students, added Dan.
