The Effects of Inland Boarding School Education on Xinjiang Students and Their Familiesexamines the impact of government schooling policy on ethnic minority students in China. Xin Su sheds light on previous understandings of the Xinjiang class policy by directly involving the experiences and perceptions of students, families, and caregivers. Su contends that personal difficulties including cultural separation and the strain of a prolonged period of detachment have been neglected in evaluations of these programs. By delving into the intricacies of this policy, this book illuminates its profound implications for social integration, cultural preservation, and the future of educational equity among ethnic minority students.
