Schools and Kindergartens Built and Renovated Through ADB Funded Project www.montsame.mn
The Ministry of Education of Mongolia completed all 21 construction projects planned under the first component of the “Improving the Quality and Accessibility of Education During an Economic Downturn” Project, which has been implemented since 2019 with concessional loans from the Asian Development Bank.
With funding from this project, two new schools and two new kindergartens were built, while five schools and 12 kindergartens were expanded. This resulted in an additional 3,400 school seats and 2,325 kindergarten beds. Consequently, around 10,000 children in Ulaanbaatar City, Darkhan-Uul, Govisumber, and Govi-Altai aimag centers now have accessible, healthy, and safe learning environments that meet standards. In addition, 478 new jobs were created.
Two schools and seven kindergartens were constructed in the Bayanzurkh and Songinokhairkhan districts in Ulaanbaatar, which have high population densities and a high number of migrants from rural areas. Furthermore, the project furnished all newly built and expanded schools and kindergartens with necessary furniture, computers, equipment, kitchen appliances, soft furnishings, and other teaching materials, thereby creating a supportive environment for children’s learning and development.
On March 3, 2024, the Government of Mongolia and the Asian Development Bank finalized an agreement for additional financing of this project. As a result, the Ministry of Education is planning to build three more schools and six kindergartens in the capital and rural areas, increasing capacity by an additional 960 school seats and 940 kindergarten beds.
