Education tops the discussion among delegates from Tibet.

From this semester on, urban and rural children in Lhasa do not have to pay for their primary and junior middle school education.

A delegate says she feels the system is more fair.

Congress delegate Deje Zhuogar said, "During the nine year compulsory education, children in agricultural and herding areas can enjoy free meals, accommodation and education fees. This is a special preferential policy to Tibet. The burden on many farmers and herdsmen can greatly be lessened."

Aside from education, the economy in the Tibetan Autonomous Region has maintained a 12 per cent increase for six consecutive years.

The Tibetan delegation says the region is pouring greater efforts into development.
