AKIPRESS.COM - A total of 59 Mongolian language and culture centers, established through public initiatives, work in 16 countries, including Germany, the United States, Canada, Switzerland, and the Republic of Korea. These centers, ranging from schools and kindergartens to cultural centers and summer camps, provide training in Mongolian language, history, music, dance, and chess to over 6,000 children, Montsame reports.

To assist operations of educational institutions to disseminate and promote the Mongolian language and culture abroad the government of Mongolia has approved a regulation for providing state support to educational and lifelong learning institutions abroad. The funding for the support will be secured within the 2024 budget and will be reflected in the annual state budget.

According to the law, the lifelong learning centers can be established in foreign countries with the purposes of learning, inheriting, and disseminating the Mongolian language, literacy, customs, and historical and cultural traditions, organizing retraining courses, and supporting the development of Mongolian people.

The Regulation enforcement will leverage Mongolian children living abroad to learn, inherit, and spread the Mongolian language, customs, and historical and cultural traditions. It will be a significant step towards fostering the development of Mongolian people abroad, ensuring the implementation of legislation on education, and supporting the goals and objectives outlined in Mongolia's long and medium-term development policies.
