GENERAL APPEAL

on 23rd November 2008,while speaking to the delegates of the first Tibetan Special General Meeting, he re-emphasized on the same topic and said that through research and specialization in various fields, Tibetans must be able to work independently and be equal with the others.

As a consequence of these guidelines, the 14th Tibetan Parliament-in-exile, in its 7th session held in march, 2009,passed a resolution to constitute a parliamentary committee to look into the state of Tibetan education in general and particularly investigate into the reasons for the unsatisfactory condition of the research and specialization work. The committee was also to come out with recommendations for the future. The Hon’ble speakers of the Tibetan Parliament-in-exile have already appointed the committee and we are in the process of doing our work.
As a very important part of this onerous   task, we appeal to all those who feel concerned about the condition of Tibetan education in general and particularly the state of research and specialization in our exiled community to kindly respond to the ‘Questionnaire’ below so as to be benefited by your valuable ideas. Those who, out of necessity, opt to remain anonymous, may not respond to the personal resume.
Your response should reach us latest by 15th January 2010.
