Development of school history

Start up period

In 1951, Tibet was peacefully liberated. After the peaceful liberation of Tibet, there is an urgent need for a large number of ethnic minority cadres with a certain cultural foundation. After the establishment of the Preparatory Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region in 1956, the upper reactionary groups in Tibet strongly opposed the reform of the social system in Tibet. According to the actual situation of Tibet's struggle, in order to preserve its basic strength, train its ethnic cadres and prepare for the democratic reform in the future, in March 1957, under the instruction of Premier Zhou Enlai, Comrade Deng Xiaoping presided over a meeting of the Secretariat of the Central Committee. The meeting decided that Tibet should run schools in the mainland according to the situation of Tibet at that time. According to the decision of the Party Central Committee, the Tibet Working Committee began to prepare for the construction of Tibet public school in June of the same year. In September, the school was officially named "Tibet public school". In October, the central government approved the transfer of the former Northwest Institute of technology in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province to Tibet as the site of Tibet public school.

In January 1958, with the approval of the Central Committee, Comrade Zhang Guohua, deputy secretary of the CPC Tibet Working Committee, concurrently served as the president of Tibet public school. On September 15, Tibet public school held a grand opening ceremony in Xianyang (the former site of Northwest Institute of Technology). At that time, there were 3415 students and 716 teaching staff.

In September 1959, Tibet public school opened the Tibetan language specialized course, which was the earliest specialized course in Tibetan history and became a symbol of the start of higher education in Tibet. In 1960, Tibet's democratic reform won a great victory, and Tibet entered a historical period of transition to socialism. In order to adapt to the new situation of the development of Tibet's revolution and construction, public schools began to train professional and technical personnel urgently needed in Tibet while continuing to train political cadres. On the basis of setting up the specialized subject of Tibetan language, he has successively established the specialties of normal education, health, agriculture, animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, accounting, posts and telecommunications, which has transported a large number of Ethnic Cadres with general professional skills to Tibet and filled the gap of lacking professional and technical personnel among Ethnic Cadres in Tibet. In October 1963, the public school set up professional departments, and the direction of running the school gradually developed to professional education and comprehensive colleges. On July 1, 1965, with the approval of the State Council, Tibet public school was renamed Tibet Institute for nationalities. Comrade Guo Moruo inscribed the name of the college

Cultural Revolution

From June to July 1966, working groups sent by the Shaanxi provincial Party committee and the Tibet working committee came to the people's court one after another. On August 12, the college established the "Preparatory Committee for the Cultural Revolution". In this wave of great criticism, the leaders, most middle-level cadres and some teachers of the college have been impacted, the organizations at all levels have been paralyzed, and the whole college is in a state of anarchy.

In August 1968, when the person in charge of the Central Committee met all the members of the Tibet class of the central learning class, Jiang Qing proposed that "it is a strange thing for the Tibet Institute for Nationalities to be established in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province", which caused ideological confusion among the masses of the Institute. On January 23, 1970, the Revolutionary Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region decided to abolish the Tibet Institute for nationalities. College leaders and most middle-level cadres transferred from the college, part of the property transferred to the relevant departments in Shaanxi, which brought serious consequences to the development of the college.

On May 16, 1971, the core group of the Party of the Tibet Autonomous Region held a meeting and formally made a decision to resume the Tibet Institute for Nationalities and to establish a new campus in Nyingchi, Tibet. Since 1972, agronomy, animal husbandry and veterinary, finance and accounting, and mechanical and electrical majors have moved to Linzhi, forming a school running pattern of Xianyang in Shaanxi Province as the general hospital and Linzhi in Tibet as the branch. In January 1975, the district Party committee decided that all majors of Xianyang general college would no longer move to Tibet, with 1500 students in both general college and branch school. In May 1978, the Linzhi branch of Tibet Institute for nationalities was renamed Tibet Institute of agriculture and animal husbandry
