Mongolia presented UNESCO’s 2026 Global Education Monitoring Report at a national launch in Ulaanbaatar on November 4. UNESCO’s November 9 account said the event paired the global report on access to education with a country study on why some boys struggle to stay in school. [evidence-1] [evidence-2]
Boys made up 51% of pupils enrolled in primary and lower-secondary education in the 2024–25 school year, but 46% of those in upper-secondary education, the case study said, citing Mongolia’s education ministry. In the Eastern region, boys accounted for 42% of upper-secondary enrolment. The study identified demand for boys’ work, including herding in rural areas, as one factor that can pull them away from school. [evidence-2]
The Ulaanbaatar event also examined access for children with disabilities, the availability of school dormitories for pupils from remote areas and differences in access to digital learning. UNESCO, its Mongolian national commission and the All for Education civil society coalition organised the event. [evidence-1]
