Nearly 250 Mongolian students will study at universities and institutes in Kazakhstan,  during the 2017-2018 academic years . The students belong to the Kazakh ethnic minority who live in Mongolia’s Bayan-Ulgii province. The students have already departed for Kazakhstan already.  

The Kazakhstan government is covering the expenses including tuition fees and accommodation of the Bayan-Ulgii students. In addition, they will receive a monthly stipend.
