Agro-Technicians for Tibet
 
Share

A GROUP of 193 Tibetan technicians recently completed more than one year's training in agro-technical schools in Hopei, Liaoning, Kirin and Heilungkiang Provinces and have returned to Tibet as competent instructors in the maintenance, repair and use of ordinary farm machinery. Most of them are sons and daughters of emancipated serfs.

The agro-technical schools were entrusted with the task of training them by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for the purpose of stepping up farm mechanization in Tibet. Effective measures were adopted to solve the students' difficulties, whether they had to do with language, teaching methods or habits and customs. To ensure success, the schools allocated their best teachers, equipment and laboratories to the course. Some teachers even learnt Tibetan in order to help the students more.
