The authors put forward the following suggestions: study and establish physical education teach-ing syllabuses and teaching material contents with regional features of pastoral areas in Qinghai by combining them with actual circumstances of physical education in pastoral areas; actively probe into regional education modes that fit into features of altiplano livestock husbandry in pastoral areas in Qinghai; implement flexible teaching plans; speed up the implementation of the post system for specially hired teachers in pastoral areas; strengthen the intro-duction and cultivation of bilingual type physical education teachers; integrate various educational, cultural and sports facilities and resources in counties and prefectures; develop such fund raising ways as “raise funds for schools based on livestock husbandry and raise funds for education based on school funds”.
