Mongolian Minister of Education L. Enkh-Amgalan met Edwin Samuel, the United Kingdom’s ambassador to Mongolia, to discuss expanding bilateral cooperation in education.
The sides focused on improving the quality and accessibility of English-language training and supporting teachers’ professional development. A government-backed British project, carried out with UNICEF, has trained 739 English teachers at 219 public schools in eight aimags. They represent more than 20 percent of English teachers nationwide.
The meeting also covered potential partnerships with Cambridge Partnership for Education to strengthen teacher preparation. Topics included building the capacity of the Mongolian State University of Education, updating teacher-training curricula and supporting the professional development of educators and researchers.
