Music and Dance College to become conservatoire
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ J.Batsuuri, Minister for Education, Culture, Science and Sports visited and met the staff of Music and Dance College of Mongolia which celebrates its 80th anniversary this year.
Having resolved the issue of changing the status of the educational institution to a conservatoire during his visit to the Russian Federation, the Minister exchanged views on the matter with the staff. Accompanying the Minister at the meeting were N.Bold, Head of Cultural Policy Department at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Sports and Kh.Saranchimeg, Acting Principal of the Music and Dance College.
Despite of having expressed its request to become a conservatoire to the previous Cabinets for more than 20 years, the Music and Dance College of Mongolia hasn't seen any progress. Now, the intentions of the college have come true. The college staff expressed their gratitude to the Minister’s valuable contribution to the development of professional arts in Mongolia.
In upcoming February, a Russian delegation will arrive in Mongolia to work at the Music and Dance College, and conduct a study on the curriculum, equipments and technology and instruments of the college.
Mongolian Music and Dance College, named after legendary composer S.Gonchigsumlaa was established on April 10, 1937 with a name ‘School of Art’. Later in 1996, the name was finalized to ‘Music and Dance College’ after several changes.
