This paper is a report concerning preliminary research on ethnic minority education in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, in China. It focuses on a Mongolian minority group. Various problems are occurring in connection with development in the minority areas. Some of these relate to minority education. I discuss excessive consolidation of minority schools in the pastoral area of Ujimchin. Ujimchin is a typical pastoral area in Inner Mongolia. There, as many as 55% of the population are still living a pastoral nomadic way of life, in the West Ujimchin Banner. Until 2000 there were 25 minority schools in the somus (somu is an administrative section within the banner). The statistics show that at the end of 2008, all the minority schools were consolidated into 5 minority schools. Moreover, they were gathered in one balyasu (village). Because of their lifestyle, the pastoralists are not easy to contact within the balyasu. Also their children are hard to get to school in the balyasu, because it is too far way. When the little children are aged five or six they have to leave their parents, and live in school dormitories. Because of the minority schools consolidation, the pastoralists have had to bear great economic expense. Many pastoral parents feel the excessive consolidation of the minority schools is causing them great inconvenience. If the govemment wants to found or to consolidate schools in such pastoral areas, it has to consider the lifestyle of the people.
