/MONTSAME/ Minister of Education, Culture, Science and Sports Yo.Baatarbileg
met with Ambassador of India to Mongolia Mohinder Pratap Singh.
The sides
talked on intensifying implementation of the project on establishing Mongolia-India
Joint Information Technology Education and Outsourcing Center in Mongolia. The
project implementation has been stalled over the past years due to certain
reasons even though a line of credit agreement for financing it had already been
established between the Government of Mongolia and the Export-Import Bank of
India in 2012.
Moreover, the Indian Ambassador
highlighted the opportunity to start training Mongolian teachers in India
again.
The issue of
opening Mongolian-Indian Joint School which has been under discussion since
2010 was also brought up at the meeting. In that regard, a decision was made in
2016 to reinvent the School No. 16 to Mongolian-Indian Joint School and the Education
Department of capital city proposed extending the school building without
making changes to its current state and enrollment scheme.
Both sides
thereafter agreed to hold a video conference on the school matter in the near
future, to set up a joint working group that convenes once a month, and to
organize Mongolian Cultural Days in India at the beginning of next year.
