It is the time to change

After transmitting to market economy, a lot of private colleges and universities have been established in Mongolia. But we have to rely on theirs quality? Is there any standard for university or college? If there is, why the most of graduators have not practical competence? That is one of the biggest problems in our society. In consequence, unemployment and poverty is thriving nowadays.

First, the education system is completely wrong. That is proved by the recent graduators as we see. Surprisingly, Mongolia is the top country for its highest number of 1person/university. But the quality is the lowest.

Secondly, there are less friendly environments for both students and staffs. We have no university campus at all. Almost all of the state universities are situated in central region of the capital city. This is the one reason that huge mass of people are moving into the capital city. So there is only a single building which is the study building and nothing else is with! Nothing especial for students! Maybe there is one two or three dormitories which is very unfashionable. In contrast, for example; The US, which has a great education system, the colleges and universities have everything needed for students such as a lot of resources, facilities, free-time spending places, great campuses, student-hospital and shops, friendly environments, variety of activities, admirable buildings and houses and so on.

The main reason why I feel that improving educational system is important for everyone in Mongolia is that person who has educated can develop our country more and more rapid and advantageous than any other methods of developing the country. In my opinion, the way to solve this severe problem is to make well-reasoned laws, standards for education centers then to take control of the processes. The government has to contribute much money for education. Under a good policy, education system can be amended easily.

Today, we are faced with unemployment and poverty deeply. The vital thing to cope with these problems is to avoid new unemployed people. Hence, the above statements must be implemented in a short time. Unless, we could not get rid of both poverty and unemployment so we will be more and more undeveloped. If we will not develop in average developing rate we can not be survived in this competitive world. Thus, it is the time to change and develop rapidly.

Do we have to agree that while technology developments moving on, Mongolian development especially the education system, which is the future of Mongolians, stands at one attitude and getting worse and worse situation?
