In frames of cooperation between Dornogobi aimag and Shizuoka Prefecture of Japan, five
teachers and 25 children from the prefecture are traveling across Dornogobi
aimag between August 6 and 8.
Deputy Governor
of Dornogobi aimag G.Erdenetsetseg and Head of the local department for
education and culture Ch.Otgonbayar welcomed the teachers and children and gave
detailed information about the aimag’s development as well as the characteristics
of Gobi region and its locals’ life.

will visit the Khamar Monastery and get acquainted with the life of a Gobi
herder family. The student exchange program gives Mongolian and Japanese
children an opportunity to make reciprocal visits to one another’s countries
and explore other cultures and customs while becoming friends and getting
acquainted with each other’s educational pursuit and lifestyle.
Thus far, over 200 students and 20 teachers of the aimag visited Shizuoka and around 60 civil servants have studied Japanese experience in the prefecture.
