the former “Green Horse” Society is introducing his next solo exhibition

works expressing the “traces of life” and unnoticed pieces of our
existence are certainly an independent face in Mongolian contemporary
arts. Don’t forget to visit the second branch of Blue Sun Gallery,

Mr. O.Enkhtuvshin, Minister of Education,
Culture and Science, met Tuesday the Ulaanbaatar City Mayor Mr.
Ts.Batbayar. At the meeting, the Minister requested from the City Mayor
not to grant the lands, designated for the erection of schools and
kindergartens, to other organizations. Mr. Batbayar said the lands for
schools and kindergartens will shortly be confirmed completely and then
officially noted he will not grant the lands to others.
Previously many construction companies were granted pieces of land on the basis that a school would be built. However, the schools would only take a small piece of the land with the remaining part being used for expensive apartment buildings.
The two men
exchanged the views on the social issues on teachers and on providing
them with cheaper modern apartments. At his meeting with the officials
of kindergartens in Ulaanbaatar, Mr. Batbayar stressed he made a
decision to grant one million togrogs to each kindergarten for the
renovation of their kitchens.Be first to comment this article | Quote this article on your site |
