在新疆维吾尔自治区的少数民族学校推广和强制使用普通话作为教学语言，旨在进一步整合国家，提高区域教育和经济质量，取得了好坏参半的成功。2004年的“汉人小学和少数民族小学、初中合并计划”和“把汉语作为通用语言”，正在使学生在没有事先准备的情况下，沉浸在第二语言环境中，使母语为汉语的人与母语为汉语的人进行不公平的竞争。对普通话的日益关注已经对民族关系产生了严重后果，特别是在城市维吾尔学校，该项目的重点，而教育课程和方法改革的任务也计划不周，资源不足，对教育质量产生了负面影响。中国政府有其他更可行、对少数民族更友好的语言政策解决方案。
Abstract Efforts to promote and impose Mandarin Chinese as the language of instruction in ethnic minority schools in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, aimed at further integrating the state and raising regional educational and economic quality, have had mixed success. The 2004 plan to consolidate Han Chinese and minority elementary and middle schools and to make Mandarin the universal language of instruction in those schools is fostering an immersive second-language environment without prior preparation for students, bringing native speakers of Mandarin into unfair competition with non-native speakers. The increased focus on Mandarin has already had grave consequences for ethnic relations, especially in urban Uyghur schools, where the project is focused, while the mandate for change in educational curriculum and methodology has also been poorly planned and remains under-resourced, negatively impacting educational quality. The Chinese government has available to it other language policy solutions that are both more workable and friendlier to minority sensibilities.
