The National Council for Children held its regular session on September 1, opened by Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar, who also serves as the council’s head. He noted the significance of convening on the first day of the new school year and stressed the need for practical policies, effective implementation, and measurable results.
Council members proposed measures including rehabilitation centers for child victims of violence, improved safety at boarding schools, stronger family education, year-round children’s camps run by the private sector, and greater involvement of children’s organizations in policymaking.
The 2025 Children’s Fund budget will help finance equipment for early detection and treatment of childhood diseases, as well as the construction of a specialized pediatric lung hospital. Funds will also be allocated to repair sports facilities at the Nairamdal international children’s complex.
The Prime Minister highlighted serious concerns over pollution levels in schools and kindergartens—five times higher than normal indoors—and ordered stricter standards, supervision, and inspections of children’s facilities.
