On one hand, the state is expanding access to kindergarten, bringing Tibetan children into the educational system at a much younger age. On the other hand, the shrinking number of elementary, middle, and high schools reflects the widespread closing of village schools, which are consolidated into large boarding schools located in townships and cities. This consolidation is widely used to encourage nomads to take on a sedentary lifestyle by moving closer to towns and cities. ח
