UNESCO Beijing will provide the funding for the equipment provision for the higher education project in Mongolia to compliment the on-going Regional Korea Funds-in-Trust (KFIT) higher education project in Mongolia. The project is aligned with the Mongolian Government’s education vision 2050 and Education Sector Medium Term Development Plan (2021-2030).

Under education sector policy review conducted by UNESCO in 2019, the higher education sector reform is fundamental to producing the quality graduates for the needs of the labour market. In addition to equipment provision, UNESCO will also provide additional policy advice and technical support assistance to the Ministry of Education and Science and National Accreditation Council to reform the higher education system in Mongolia. The project will be sustained for the next two years of implementation.

Mongolia is expected to ratify the 2019 Global Convention on Recognition of Qualifications in higher education very soon.
