Training
Mongolia has a relatively high level of
education, which was achieved during the communist era
(1924-1990). At that time, the school system was
expanded to include virtually all children of school
age. At the same time, illiteracy declined sharply,
partly as a result of many nomads becoming resident and
getting close to schools. Today, virtually all Mongols
can read and write.
The children start school at the age of six.
Compulsory school compulsory covers twelve years.
After democratization in 1990, the proportion of
children attending school declined, but has since
increased again. Nowadays, practically all children in
one and more than eight out of ten complete fifth grade.
The main reason why some children drop out of school is
that they have to work to contribute to family support.
There are a number of private schools besides the
state schools.
