With a population that is 90 per cent ethnic Tibetan, Tibet has one of China's lowest college entry barriers.BEIJING — Tibet is luring investors from elsewhere in China with a promise to let their children take university entrance exams there in return for an investment of at least US$400,000 , an unusual move to exploit what is considered an easier scoring system.
The plan has sparked debate on Chinese social media, however, with some posters arguing it would be unfair to students from the mountainous region, while others supported it.Amid growing concern as the exam approaches in early June, the education ministry issued a notice on March 20 vowing to crack down on "gaokao migrants", as students seeking to benefit from such a plan have been dubbed.
