Although there are nearly 50,000 job postings registered at the Mongolian Labor Exchange, the unemployment rate in the country is extremely high, reports UB Post. The results of a research based on surveys on mining companies show that Mongolians are not qualified for the available jobs.
In middle schools in Mongolia, students are heavily institutionalized, following a strict schedule and strict time: remnants of the old Soviet education system. The strict nature of these schools may be effective, but the fact that the middle school students do not practice the skills necessary for work is not learned, most important being charisma and teamwork. Today, Mongolian public schools do not have comprehensive lesson plans on developing practical skills and they are entirely up to the teachers whether to teach them or not.
