/MONTSAME/. The Ulaanbaatar City Governor’s Office, UNICEF, and the
Mongolian Intellectual Academy signed a Memorandum of Understanding on November
12, 2025, to implement the program “Preventing Digital Addiction and Supporting
Students’ Intellectual Development.”
The MoU aims to strengthen
mutual understanding and cooperation between the parties, enhance children’s
learning abilities, and explore opportunities to expand successful practices.
The memorandum will be implemented
in accordance with the principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child,
which Mongolia ratified on January 26, 1990.
Deputy Governor for Social
Development, Green Growth, and Air and Environmental Pollution Affairs, Amartuvshin
Amgalanbayar, stated, “To develop global citizens, the three organizations
have signed this memorandum of cooperation. UNICEF has proposed 10 pilot
schools for the project, to be implemented from December 1 this year to June 1
next year. If UNICEF concludes that the project is effective, it will be
expanded to all 178 schools in the capital.”
Under the Memorandum, the parties
will pilot an “Intellectual Sports Program” in 10 selected schools in
Ulaanbaatar. The program will include training sessions to teach students basic
intellectual sports techniques and skills, provide necessary materials and
equipment such as stacking cups, mats, timers, screens, and manuals, train and
certify three teachers and coaches from each school, and organize an
“Intellectual Sports Championship” among the participating schools in May 2026.
Throughout the program, a study
and assessment will be conducted to evaluate students’ concentration,
behavioral changes, and digital use habits. The implementation will be
regularly reviewed, and effective practices will be shared across city schools.
