Vulnerable children of Mongolia have bright futures: "By Anna Butler
All over the world children go to school to learn, to socialise, and to become familiar with their culture, religion and customs. Education is vital in today’s society no matter what your background, creed or beliefs to become a functioning member of society. The basic right to education is one of the main aims of the UN’s Millennium Development Goals, to ‘achieve universal primary education’. Education is one of the factors used to calculate where a country lies in the Human Development Index (HDI). Mongolia is ranked at 110 in the HDI with a score of 0.653 in 2011, a middle ranking country, below Thailand, but above Egypt. The education figures are revealing with mean years of schooling at 8.3 years but expected schooling should in fact be 14 years."
