- Abstract
The herder culture covers the majority part of the country’s population, but herder children cannot receive appropriate education services as children of the mainstream families in urban areas do. The current education system has created some challenges for herder children to access formal education at preschool, primary, secondary and higher education levels in Mongolia. We gathered the interview data mainly from taviul pre-school children and their parents, along with interviews of kindergarten teachers, kindergarten directors and an official of the Mongolia Ministry of Education. The purpose of our study is to investigate the current preschool education policy for the herder community in Mongolia along with its implementation and suggest our recommendations for further improvement based on the research outcome. Our results showed the strengths and weaknesses of the implementation of the preschool education for herder community in Mongolian rural areas.
