UNICEF: Supporting access to early education for children in rural Mongolia
By whatever transport available, parents bring their children to a lone Mongolian Ger on a vast dry plain.
Inside, young boys and girls are learning a popular folk song.
This a typical Mongolian mobile kindergarten.
It is a rare luxury in rural regions like this, where animal herding families migrate several times each year, often
settling far from any town. Less than 45 percent of Mongolian children receive any form of early education.
This preschool takes an approach in line with the people’s nomadic nature: if children can’t come to the school, take
the school to the students.
Instead of in a permanent building, classes take place in a traditional Ger, the felt tent that Mongolians commonly call
home.
The Ger travels seven to eight times each year, bringing preschool within reach of families as far as 120 kilometers
away.
