Kindergarten scarcity prompts Mongolians to think outside box; consider outdoor pre-school education

As Ulaanbaatar is increasingly becoming the preferred destination for Mongolians to settle in due to the benefits that come with living in the capital, the city has become overcrowded and cramped, making delivering services and providing state-sponsored services a challenge for the local authorities.

Now, the education system is reeling from the surge in population and birth rates, like kindergartens, schools, and educational institutions are working at full capacity and for several shits.

This issue took its toll on families who had to leave their jobs to look after their children and in some cases leave their children locked up alone at home, raising the risk of injuries amongst children.

Some have started thinking outside the box to address the issue, as some kindergartens started to admit children in Mongolian yurts [tents].

The 12th kindergarten located in the 4th khoroo of Khan-Uul district has started admitting children in the Mongolian yurt.
