College pays off. Financially, sure, but also in ways that are impossible to measure.
【T1】
From the earliest days of our country, we have seen education as the foundation for democracy and citizenship, for social mobility and national prosperity.
Higher education opens minds and opens doors. Yet high school students and families are increasingly questioning its value. Is investing in a college or university education still worth it?
The short answer is "yes". There is no doubt that college pays off financially. A wide range of statistics shows the economic advantage of a four-year college education. Over a lifetime, students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not, well over a million dollars more than they would otherwise. Completing college makes an even greater difference to the earning power of young women. A 25-to-34-year-old female with a bachelor’s degree can expect to make 70% more than if she had only completed her high school diploma.
College graduates also tend to lead more active lives. They vote more often, volunteer more often and are more likely to own a home. They are healthier and less likely to smoke by a margin of 17 percentage points. They and their children are less likely to be obese, and their children are more likely to go to college. 【T2】
Education encourages people to engage as citizens and live healthier and longer lives — powerful reasons for earning a college degree.
But what about the benefits of college that are more difficult to measure? They are equally significant and add up to a lot of value over the course of a lifetime.
College teaches students the virtue of slowing down. 【T3】
No one denies the value of speed, connectivity and the virtual world in an economy that thrives on all three.
But "thinking" is a word that is too often forgotten, trammeled in our rush to communicate faster and left behind as our brains struggle to keep up with our devices. College teaches students to slow down, to convert information to insight and knowing or understanding. 【T4】
It nurtures critical engagement, enlightened skepticism, and an endless desire to self-educate, preparing students for a lifetime of considering information and growing in knowledge and in wisdom.
In these ways and in so many others, college helps students see themselves differently, giving them the room and the license to imagine new possibilities. Yes, it opens opportunities reflected in earning and employment statistics. But, perhaps even more valuable, it opens minds and worlds in ways that defy measurement. I often ask students as they are approaching graduation how they are different from when they arrived at college. They say they know more. Sometimes, they say they found a passion they had never imagined—a field, a profession to which they intend to devote their lives. But what is more important, they often tell me, is that they have a new way of approaching the world, through the power of learning, analyzing, changing to adapt to what they have come to understand. 【T5】
The value of higher education is embodied by people who dream bigger and achieve more, who create their own futures and shape their own destinies.

西藏的发展进步符合人类社会的发展规律。由传统的农牧业经济到现代市场经济,由政教合一到政教分离,由专制到民主,由迷信到科学,由封闭到开放,是人类社会普遍的发展规律。西藏60多年的发展正是遵循了这个规律和总趋势。
在21世纪,全球化和数字化已经把世界变成地球村。文化的发展将不再是各自封闭的,而是在相互影响中共存。一个民族对人类文化贡献的大小,越来越取决于她吸收外来文化的能力和自我更新的能力。中国将继续致力于改革开放,用和谐的方式实现经济繁荣和社会进步。
