Instead, it is used as a tool by the Chinese authorities to ensure political stability and ethnic unity within the region. In order to achieve these goals, education policies continue to undermine the Tibetan identity through a biased representation of Tibetan history, a denial of their culture and traditions, and the relegation of Tibetan as a second-rate language. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.phayul.com/news/article.aspx?id=9429&article=Oral+statements+made+by+UN+Tibet+Team+at+the+ongoing+61st+session+of+the+UN+Commission+on+Human+Rights " target="blank">www.phayul.com/news/article.aspx?id=9429&article=Oral+statements+made+by+UN+Tibet+Team+at+the+ongoing+61st+session+of+the+UN+Commission+on+Human+Rights </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
