Two separate school systems are available for Uyghurs, one conducted in their own language, and one offering instructions only in Chinese. Many Uyghurs link the preservation of their cultural and religious identity with the language of instruction in schools, These kind of schools wich gives instruction in Uyghur is only for primary school, after the age of 11 kids dont have school for learning Uyghur, although the kind of primary school that teachs Uyghur is very little number and it is insufficent for the uyghur children. <ref>{{cite book |title=Xinjiang, China's Muslim Borderland |chapter=Chapter 7 - Education and Social Mobility among Minority Populations in Xinjiang |url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GXj4a3gss8wC&pg=PA191&dq=&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false |author=Linda Benson |editor=S.
