History

After the Democratic Revolution of 1990, Mongolia had seen numerous educational reforms with help from international charities and organisations. Nevertheless, lack of consistency, acquaintance and investment caused a severe harm to the educational system; beginning in mid-2000s, many higher education institutions started reporting significantly lower academic performances, further demanding the government to urgently update its current education policies. Moreover, due to its absence of recognition, undergraduate applicants for foreign universities encountered various difficulties, which could have serious consequences in the country's development in the long term. Therefore, the government of Mongolia promised to undertake major educational reforms.

In 2011, the Ministry of Education announced its collaboration with the University of Cambridge to implement the new international education system. [3] [4] As a result of the agreement, the Ministry appointed 44 secondary schools to be laboratory schools where the new system would be tested and improved, and established 3 public international schools with Cambridge International Education. [5]

Enrolment

To ensure equality, Mongol Aspiration announces enrolment examination for Grade 8 students nationwide every year. The examination include English and Mathematics tests and top 104 students are invited to the school. Previously, the examination was organised by Education Evaluation Centre alongside that of other 2 schools, but in 2016, the schools were given the rights to organise by themselves. A delegation from Independent Authority Against Corruption of Mongolia oversees the enrolment process. Approximately 1000 students take the annual entrance examination.

Education

Mongol Aspiration offers Cambridge International GCE, AS and A Levels from Grade 9 to Grade 12. Grade 9 students can choose one humanity, one language and one creative subjects whereas Mathematics, English (First or Second language), Physics, Chemistry, Biology are mandatory to meet the criteria for Cambridge ICE diploma. Consulting service is also provided for its students as it is an UCAS authorised centre.

Location

During its first 5 years, Mongol Aspiration was located on 3rd floor of 115th school building. Although the government had assigned budget for a new building, due to difficulties in land availability, the construction process was delayed several times. In 2017, the school finally moved to its own building located near the National Park in Bayanzurkh District.

Mongolia's education system has undergone colossal changes in the 20th century. The education reforms during communist times were a stark break with traditional education that was often religious and esoteric. These reforms were modeled on Soviet education systems and greatly expanded access to education for Mongolian citizens. Among the changes was a transition from the traditional Mongolian script, from 1941 to 1946, to the Cyrillic alphabet. Literacy was greatly expanded as most of the population enjoyed free primary school. However, the move to democracy and free markets in the 1990s has had some negative impacts on education in Mongolia, though these setbacks have been ameliorated some by an improving economy and policy reforms. Many adults benefit from the non-formal distance education programmes sponsored by the government in conjunction with foreign NGOs. Today education in Mongolia is overseen by the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science.
