Back to School in Mongolia: Same High Hopes, Same Old Struggles

In this episode of The Great State Mural: Mongolia Portrayed, we take a closer look at Mongolia’s education system as a new school year begins. While education is deeply valued and widely celebrated, the system itself struggles to keep pace with the country’s needs.Children in public schools face steep barriers compared to children who attend private schools, while public school teachers battle overcrowded classrooms, stagnant wages, and a lack of institutional support. Despite the challenges, education remains at the heart of Mongolia’s future—yet the question lingers: is the leadership doing enough to truly support it? We explore this and talk in depth about Mongolia's education system.If you have any suggestions for our show, please get in touch with us at info[at]agulamedia.comAnd support our work by becoming member at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Great State Mural
