Prime Minister N. Uchral attended the opening of the extension to School No. 62 in Songinokhairkhan district on April 22, 2026.
Funding for the project was first allocated in the state budget in 2018, but construction was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and legal disputes. Previously, students at School No. 62 studied in three shifts, with some attending classes in rented facilities. With the completion of the new extension, which has capacity for 640 students, the school will transition to a two-shift system.
Prime Minister N. Uchral said he was pleased to return to the constituency where he was first elected to parliament 10 years ago, now as prime minister. He said efforts had focused on addressing shortages of schools and kindergartens in the area, including building new facilities and expanding existing schools to eliminate triple shifts.
“It is rewarding to see the results of the work we have carried out,” he said.
He said the government will clear education institutions’ outstanding liabilities to social and health insurance funds. As a result, teachers and staff will no longer face obstacles in accessing pensions, leave, healthcare, loans, or visas due to unpaid contributions.
Prime Minister also highlighted the government’s newly approved strategy, “Free Every Mongolian Child from Learning Loss.” The strategy includes targeted programs, continuous teacher development, improved access to quality schools, and fair and transparent assessments.
