我们是居住在美国的中国朝鲜族人，我们在此公开呼吁中国政府：在中国的朝族学校提供朝鲜族学生与汉族学校相同程度的汉语教育。

随着时代的发展，出生在中国的朝鲜族人已经明白，我们作为一个中国的少数民族，我们在中国应该获得与多数民族相同的谋生和发展机会。由于中国的主流语言是汉语，这就要求我们少数民族必须学到和掌握与多数民族相同的汉语。如果我们少数民族对中国的主流语言掌握的程度低于多数民族，我们在中国就不可能获得与多数民主相同的谋生和发展机会。

目前，中国政府在朝族学校所规定的汉语教育，在程度上远远低于相同等级的汉族学校。由于近十多年以来，中国朝鲜族人口集中的地区，朝鲜族人口比例下降，汉族人口比例上升，汉族学校在优先招收汉族学生的规定下，中国朝鲜族人家庭的孩子已经变得没有机会进入汉族学校，中国朝鲜族人家庭的孩子变得只能被迫进入朝族学校。

朝族学校本身并不是我们要提出的问题，我们并非要求中国政府必须让朝鲜族学生进入汉族学校。我们提出的问题是：中国政府必须考虑到中国朝鲜族人希望学到和掌握中国主流语言的要求，中国政府必须取消在朝族学校使用朝语教学、朝语课本，一天只提供一到二堂汉语课的有关制度规定，中国政府必须在朝鲜族学校提供中国朝族学生与汉族学校相同的汉语教育。

我们必须指出，由于近十多年来中国政府对中国朝鲜族人的以上要求不尊重，不考虑，不改变，很多中国朝鲜族人相信，中国政府利用现行的有关在少数民族学校严重偏低程度的汉语教育制度，压制中国少数民族在中国的公平谋生和发展机会。如果中国政府继续不理睬我们这里提出的要求，越来越多的人，其中包括作为多数民族的汉族人，也同样会认识到中国政府有意压制中国的少数民族在中国的公平谋生和发展机会。

我们进一步指出，由于中国政府的制度性错误，已经使得中国朝鲜族人整体失去了在中国的公平谋生和发展机会，我们要求中国政府立即作出改变、满足我们以上提出的要求同时，公开下中国朝鲜族人道歉，并且对中国朝鲜族人作出整体性的经济赔偿。

The Appeal

(Photo) We are ethnic Koreans live in America. We appeal to the China government publicly: The government should provide equal Chinese language education in ethnic Korean schools as the government does to ethnic Han schools.

As times progress, China born ethnic Koreans have realized that we are as an ethnic minority, we should have the same living and developing opportunities as the ethnic majority in China. Because the mainstream language in China is Han Chinese, we the ethnic minority must learn the language as much as the ethnic majority. If the language level for our ethnic minority is lower than ethnic majority, we will not be able to get equal living and development opportunities as the ethnic majority.

So far, the levels of Han Chinese language taught in ethnic Korean schools are much lower than in the ethnic Han schools. In the recent ten some years, ethnic Korean population has getting proportionally lower in the ethnic Korean populated region, and the ethnic Han, higher. The rule is that an ethnic Han school should admit ethnic Han students first. The students from ethnic Korean families have turned having no chance to enter any ethnic Han school. Students from ethnic Korean families have become no choice but to go to ethnic Korean schools.

Our issue here is not about ethnic Korean school itself. We are not demanding the ethnic Han schools to admit students from ethnic Korean families. Our issue is: The China government must consider the demand of the ethnic Korean people who wish to learn the same level of the China mainstream language. The China government must terminate the system that use Korean language in teaching and textbooks in ethnic Korean schools, and give only one or two Chinese language classes each day. The China government must provide the same level of Chinese Han language teaching in the ethnic Korean schools.

We must point out that due to the China government has paid no respect, no attention and made no changes in the recent ten some years to the China ethnic Koreans’ above demand, due to the China government makes use of the low level China mainstream language teaching in the education system, the government is oppressing the opportunities of the ethnic Koreans in living and development in China. If the China government continues to ignore the demands, more and more people, which will include ethnic Hans, will come to realize that the China government is intentionally to oppress the ethnic minorities’ to have equal opportunities in living and development in China.

We further point out, that due to the government’s system error, it has already caused the China ethnic Koreans, as a whole, lost equation living and development opportunities in China. We demand the China government to take actions to make changes immediately to satisfy our demands. The government must also apologize publicly to the ethnic Koreans and make economic compensation to the ethnic Koreans as whole.
