Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. On August 3, President of Mongolia U.Khurelsukh received representatives of the Mongolian team of students that have won medals from international olympiads to congratulate them.

 

The President said during the meeting, “There should be an appropriate set of regulations to have the state recognize students’ achievements in international olympiads. As I strongly believe that now is the right time, I hereby announce that I will issue a decree regarding this matter as the President of Mongolia.”

 

 

In 2021, Mongolian students have won two gold, two silver, and two bronze medals from the International Mathematical Olympiad, two bronze medals and two honorable mentions from the International Physics Olympiad, one silver medal from the International Olympiad in Informatics, two silver and one bronze medal, and one honorable mention from the International Chemistry Olympiad, and one silver and two bronze medals from the International Biology Olympiad. In total, they have been awarded with 15 medals and three honorable mentions from five international olympiads in this year alone.

 

Noting that the mind is an ever-growing resource, he advised the students to fully utilize their potential by bringing the development of education, science, and innovation to a new level, expressing his comprehensive support.

 

He then highlighted how Mongolian children are able to compete with children from developed countries, and underlined the importance of equal access to quality education for children in the country’s development.

 

 

By focusing on certain areas such as providing policy support for improving the quality of teacher training and increasing students’ participation in international olympiads alongside creating the appropriate conditions for equal access to quality education, it will become possible for the children of Mongolia to compete on the global level, noted the president.

 

In aims of proving that it is possible for students from all parts of the country to study at top universities throughout the world, President U.Khurelsukh has initiated the program, ‘The future of 21st century Mongolia - 2,100 students’.
