Tibet's education reform stipulates that Tibetan will no longer be a compulsory subject in the national university entrance exam, known as 'gaokao', from 2024. The chairman of the regional government, Karma Tsetan, has assured that Tibetan will remain a core subject in primary and secondary education. Criticism from Tibetan media in exile underlines the risks of marginalization of the Tibetan language, seeing the reform as a threat to Tibetan culture and the use of the language in education. Similar changes have been observed in other Chinese ethnic minority regions.
