Abstract
Promoting the National Standard Spoken and Written Language is vital for ethnic regions. It strengthens national cohesion and ensures educational equity. Proficiency in the standard language facilitates inter-ethnic integration. It also accelerates local economic and cultural growth. This study investigates primary and secondary schools in the ethnic prefectures of Qinghai Province. The research identifies several critical challenges. First, educational value orientations remain unclear. Second, teaching resources are unevenly distributed. Third, the professional development of the teaching force is progressing slowly. To address these issues, the paper proposes three strategic countermeasures. The first involves optimizing the supply mechanism for public education services. The second focuses on cultivating high-quality local educators. Finally, the study emphasizes the need to enhance general public awareness regarding language education.
