This paper traces the development of modern secular Tibetan education from the time of exile in India in the 1960's when the Communist Chinese occupied the country. A brief overview of the monastic education is presented as a way to provide a context to the importance of integrating Tibetan culture in the school curriculum. The rationale for a Tibetan-centric approach to schooling in exile is offered at various levels of its importance. An integration of Tibetan culture is also attempted. The necessity of preserving the Tibetan culture to help maintain national identity and to prepare students to face the challenges of life in exile and for reclaiming their lost nation is advocated. A constructive approach in this direction is to: (1) identify fundamental concepts and universal experiences in Tibetan culture; (2) develop a clearly defined scope and sequence in terms of creating learning experiences critical to ensure continuity of Tibetan culture; and (3) include activities in the integration that addresses cognitive, affective and action domains.
