Schools offering standard curriculum dont not teach Dai language. I am sure. I dont know other regioins in China. If the teacher is Dai, off class, the teacher might speak Dai with Dai students.

I am Chinese Han, born and raised in Xi Shuanbannan.

Are you sure that the school only teaches Mandarin? I've read online that some schools teach only Mandarin but others also teach Dai in the classes.

In many regions of China they have schools that help teach ethnic minorities in their own languages.

Also I was wondering, you aren't Dai are you? Are you just Chinese?

Here is an informational page regarding Tai Lue, a Dai language.

It says that 50% of Tai Lue people can only speak Tai Lue and not Mandarin. Is this true?

Maybe it's referring to older Dai people who can't speak Mandarin.

That site is actually a useful resource and the information is gathered by researchers
