The Ra-Gya Jigme Gyaltsen Grassland (Tsathang) Girls’ School in Golok, Amdo, was among at least three Tibetan schools forcibly closed by Chinese authorities between August–September 2026.
Established to expand educational opportunities for girls from nomadic communities, the school provided instruction in Tibetan language, Buddhist philosophy, science, traditional medicine, and other subjects.
The latest closures of the schools further demonstrates the shrinking space for independent Tibetan language education.

Canada condemns the attack on the house and office of the Dalai Lama’s representative in South Africa, Dhundup Gyalpo. Tibetan Buddhists everywhere have the right to practice their faith without fear. Hatred or violence against people of faith and belief—anywhere—is unacceptable.

MI5 has issued an unprecedented public warning about a new Chinese spy threat targeting British academics.
The Security Service says a Chinese institute is secretly trying to exploit the expertise of universities and other research bodies to help Beijing build more powerful espionage tools.
In a highly unusual alert, it strongly advises everyone involved in UK academia to cut ties with this company – or risk criminal charges under national security legislation.

On September 24, 2026, a side event was held in the Palais des Nations in Geneva during the 63rd Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council focusing on "Child Rights in Tibet".
In other words, not since Tibet Action exposed the coercive and cruel system of child-family separation taking place all across Tibet. While China is in the hot-seat, this is a critical moment to build momentum for change.
