BEIJING: Tibet is luring investors from elsewhere in China with a promise to let their children take university entrance exams there in return for an investment of at least US$400,000, an unusual move to exploit what is considered an easier scoring system.
With a population that is 90% ethnic Tibetan, the region has one of China's lowest college entry barriers, a key edge for the millions of students who take the competitive "gaokao" entrance exams each year, hoping to secure lucrative white-collar jobs.
