Ulaanbaatar, /MONTSAME/. O.Enkhtuvshin, Mongolian Minister of
Education, Culture and Sciences, has held a TV-meeting with the
Governors and officials of the Education and Cultural Departments of
nine aimags. The meeting aimed to discuss issues related to the
execution of repairs of rural kindergartens, secondary schools and
cultural organizations, to supply of textbooks and uniforms of school
pupils, and the organization of the Lunch program. The officials of
most aimags said overhauls and running repairs of kindergartens and
secondary schools have been conducted under the united schedule. They
expressed a readiness to launch the 2006-2007 academic year starting
from September 1. However, repairs of buildings of complex schools and
kindergartens of Dornogobi Aimag, Ulaangom soum of Uvs Aimag, Zavkhan
Aimag and Khan-UUl District of Ulaanbaatar and of other eight secondary
schools of three soums of Omngogobi, Khovsgol and Zavkhan aimags have
not still launched due to the amendment made in the tender law of
Mongolia. The companies selected at a tender did not meet the standard
requirements. For this reason, the bidding will be re-announced and the
companies to execute construction will be chosen on August 24. As for
textbooks of secondary schools, most of the aimags made orders to have
textbooks printed in selected companies. At present, the books are in
delivery. Mr. Enkhtuvshin said he was holding the TV-meeting with
officials of nine aimags because of technical obstacles. He stressed
that all Mongolian secondary schools will be transmitted to the system
of 11 years. The schools will be transmitted to the system of 12 years
starting from 2008. Therefore, the preparation for the new academic
year must be provided in order to fully carry out the new educational
standards, he underlined.
