Umnugovi, Mongolia – Oyu Tolgoi backed Gobi Oyu Development Support Fund has commissioned and completed the Khanbogd secondary school No.2 with capacity to educate 640-student school and 200-child kindergarten today. The project was proposed by provincial Governor’s office when they identified capacity challenges in town’s school system. Students were studying in multiple shifts due to lack of classrooms creating unfavorable environment for students and teachers and Khanbogd children had limited access to kindergarten.

Khanbogd students will now be studying under teachers and management’s best practice from “New Era” government laboratory school of Ulaanbaatar who has been implementing the globally up to date Cambridge school standard in the nation’s capital. The new school will apply the national curriculum implemented by international management standard for next three years with the aim of becoming a leader in natural science field in secondary education. The management costs and teacher trainings are covered by the fund.

According to a calculation by the Global Partnership for Education, “A 0.1% improvement in a country's education equality can, over 40 years, raise its per capita income by 23%.” The following investment into education aims to close the education gap between urban and rural Mongolia. Khanbogd students can now enjoy regular classroom schedule and utilize their after school time for research and development activities.

The school with 29 classrooms and the kindergarten with 8 classrooms are fully furnished and equipped with all the tools and equipment necessary for setting of learning with project budget at MNT 7.2 billion.

Therefore Oyu Tolgoi devoted its efforts to turning Khanbogd into a self-sustainable town through its contributions in critical infrastructures, such as power, water, roads, healthcare, environment and education. With the addition of this school and kindergarten complex, we are certain that the foundation of a robust community will be strengthened and many more doors will open for the future generations to come.”
