You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Early life ==
Tseten was born in November 1926 in Huangzhong County, [[Qinghai|Qinhai Province]].

In September 1948, Tseten graduated from [[Beijing Normal University]] with a degree in education.<ref name=":0" />

== Career ==
He was one of the few [[Tibetan Communist Party|Tibetan communists]], a group of scientists and teachers, who were sent to Tibet to extol the benefits of [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxism-Leninism]].((ref|a)) The group arrived [[Chamdo]] early in the winter of 1951.<ref>((Cite book|title=Tibet, Tibet : a personal history of a lost land|last=French|first=Patrick|date=2003|publisher=Knopf|isbn=1400041007|edition= 1st American|location=New York|pages=245–246|oclc=51983324))</ref>

On 28 March 1959, he was appointed as a member of the preparatory committee for establishing the TAR. During the [[Cultural Revolution]], he went into hiding.((ref|a))<ref>((Cite book|title=Leaders in Tibet : a directory|first=Victoria|last=Conner|date=1997|publisher=Tibet Information Network|others=Barnett, Robert, 1953-, Tibet Information Network.|isbn=0953201104|location=London|oclc=39084311))</ref>

In 1981, he became Vice President of the People's Congress of the TAR. From March 1983 to June 1985, he was one of the secretaries of the [[Communist Party of China|Communist Party]] in Tibet. From April 1983 to 1985, he was chairman of the People's Committee of TAR.<ref>((Cite book|title=Resistance and reform in Tibet|date=1996|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publishers|others=Barnett, Robert, 1953-|isbn=8120813715|edition= 1st Indian |location=Delhi|pages=298|oclc=47366775))</ref>

In 1986, he was removed from his post in Tibet, following a change in the Communist Party's position on Tibet after the [[1987–89 Tibetan unrest|1987-1989 protests]]. He was appointed as the director of China Tibetology Research Center in Beijing, and he remained in this position until 2000.

He retired in April 2004, at the age of 78.

He died on 6 July 2013 in Beijing.<ref name=":0" />

== Views on Tibetan education ==
In 1991, he published his book on [[education in Tibet]], describing Tibetan language education as a crucial issue given "strong differences of opinion".<ref name=":1">((Cite book|title=Education in Tibet : policy and practice since 1950|last=Catriona.|first=Bass|date=1998|publisher=Zed Books|isbn=1856496732|location=London|pages=|oclc=39533599|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/educationintibet0000bass))</ref> He attributed the absence of Tibetan education during the Cultural Revolution to the rapid expansion of education, the shortage of teachers and textbooks, and the influence of leftist ideology.<ref name=":1" /> It emphasized the importance of Tibetan in the development of education and economy.

He reported that in a 1982 pilot project in three high schools in [[Lhasa]], [[Gyantse]], and [[Lhokha]] to compare the respective merits of Tibetan vs Chinese, classes taught in Tibetan at Gyantsé averaged twice as many exam marks as the classes taught in Chinese. The project was discontinued due to lack of books, qualified teachers and mismanagement. He recommended that Chinese not be taught in primary schools in rural areas and the use of Tibetan in education gradually be applied to middle school.<ref name=":1" />

== Notes ==

: 1.((note|a))<small>Dorje Tseten belongs to the first generation of Tibetan communist leaders since the Chinese military intervention in Tibet, a generation mainly from the eastern Tibetan regions of [[Kham]] and [[Amdo]], where Chinese presence preexisted. This group was composed of aristocrats and other Tibetans co-opted to official positions, and Tibetans from eastern Tibet who joined the [[Communist Party of China|Communist Party]] in the early days and came to occupy important positions in the Tibet Autonomous Region (RAT). Most leaders of this group later suffered severe persecution during the [[Cultural Revolution]].<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.phayul.com/news/article.aspx?id=471&t=1|title=Third generation of Tibetan leaders appointed|website=Phayul.com|access-date=2018-11-02))</ref></small>
