Mongolian delegation led by Minister of Education and Science L. Enkh-Amgalan are taking part in the “Education World Forum”, which is being held in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland between 7 and 10 May.
At the Forum, Minister of Education and Science L. Enkh-Amgalan delivered a presentation on reforms and policies pursued by the Government of Mongolia in the education sector.
The general enrollment rate for kindergarten and school is 90-98% in Mongolia, considerably high in the world. So, rather than accessibility, quality reform will be the focus of education policy in Mongolia in the future, according to his presentation. Moreover, the Minister highlighted the principle, to which the Government of Mongolia adheres, that the school close to home should be the best.
Another point that was emphasized in the presentation of the Minister was the teaching quality and performance evaluation which had been conducted in urban and rural area schools to determine the gaps between them. This evaluation has unveiled many opportunities to enhance the management of schools, improve the knowledge and skills of the teachers in the workplace, and introduce a financial system based on performance and work results. Most importantly, it will provide equal learning opportunities for all students regardless of their location through digital learning platforms.
On the sideline of the Forum, Minister L. Enkh-Amgalan met the Minister of Technical Education, Vocational Training, Employment, and Labor of the Republic of Guinea, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research of Libya, and a knowledge analyst at McKinsey, a Silicon Valley company. During the meetings, the parties exchanged views on the role of education in sustainable development.
