While the rest of the world wasn't looking, Mongolia managed to achieve something kind of amazing www.upworthy.com
The Overseas Development Institute has released a new report on Mongolia that's pretty incredible.
Even though up to 40% of Mongolia's population is nomadic, the country has found a way to achieve something wealthier nations can only envy: 98% of its girls and 93% of its boys are now getting a secondary education.
Mongolians value the education of their kids above almost everything else, and now their government — flush with money from a mining boom and improved taxation — has taken up the challenge of paying for it. With a completely overhauled modern education policy that's more responsive to families' needs, and with the support of external financing partners, they're actually getting it done.
