About eight million Uyghurs live in the People’s Republic of China. Many Uyghurs are hostile to Chinese rule. Xinjiang, the province in which most Uyghurs live, has long been a spot of violence and controversy. The Chinese government has employed a variety of means to pacify the Uyghurs and integrate them into mainstream society. It has used violence, propaganda, economic incentives, and education. This thesis will examine the use of education in that strategy. Chinese policymakers hope that education will raise Uyghur standards of living, support China’s preferred historical interpretations, and make Mandarin the common language in Xinjiang. This thesis examines three parts of China’s education strategy: preferential policies (傾斜政策), language education, and history education. This is done through examining Chinese White Papers, textbooks used in Chinese classrooms, publications by analysts, and studies done by academics. The goal was to discover how much success China has had in using education to integrate the Uyghurs. This thesis has found that while progress has been made, the PRC has not achieved its goal of using education to integrate the Uyghurs into mainstream society. In fact, its attempts have often had the opposite affect, alienating and angering many Uyghurs.
