Soldiers as Teachers: PLA Unit Tutors Children and Tightens Bonds in Tibet’s Border Villages

A PLA border unit in Tibet has been running a multi-year education and civic-engagement programme, providing one-on-one tutoring, national-defence instruction and household assistance in a remote Looba (Luoba) village. The initiative has improved student performance and local livelihoods while deepening civil–military links and patriotic socialisation in a sensitive border area.
