UNICEF has signed an contribution agreement Moncement Building Materials LLC, under which the two companies will contribute to activities aimed at improving access to education as part of their corporate social responsibility. This engagement will support the education of children in remote rural areas.
As part of this initiative, Moncement will collaborate with local authorities to upgrade and equip the digital classroom of Örgön soum school in Dornogovi province, provide support to address learning loss, and organize summer training programs to enhance teachers' capacities.
During the event, Ms.Munkhnasan N., Chairwoman of Monpolymet Group, remarked:
“While private sector entities operate their businesses, they are also among the main contributors to the state budget. However, it remains questionable whether the taxes we pay through our hard work are truly reaching the fundamental social sectors such as education and healthcare in an equitable and effective way. In other words, when public spending fails to reach those most in need, the private sector is often compelled to take the lead in addressing social issues—even during times of economic difficulty.
In today’s era of rapid technological advancement, the need to improve access to digital infrastructure and equipment for students—especially those in remote rural areas—is greater than ever. Monpolymet Group, in partnership with UNICEF, has initiated a project to modernize digital classrooms and provide training for local teachers and students.
Every child has the right to quality education in a safe and healthy environment. Ensuring equal access to education regardless of geographic location is fundamental to nurturing a knowledgeable, skilled generation and shaping the future of Mongolia. Therefore, I trust that our policymakers will prioritize more effective and consistent policies to improve teacher availability, enhance learning environments, and support the overall development of the education sector.”
Previously, Moncement, a subsidiary of Monpolymet Group, partnered with UNICEF to support early childhood development through the “Teacher with Tablet” initiative. The results of this project will be presented in August.
