TS.ELBEGDORJ RECEIVES AMERICAN TEACHERS
Ulaanbaatar, /MONTSAME/ "The best way to educate about the democracy is to educate our children about the democracy, human rights and freedom," said the President of Mongolia Ts.Elbegdorj during his meeting held Monday with U.S. teachers. These days, they are helping the Mongolian children to get an education about the democracy, human rights and civil society.
The teachers said that Mongolia's Civil Education center is going to start a joint project named "World's Democratic Memories Fund" together with the American Teachers' Association (ATA). In frames of this project, a book will be issued unfolding stories about leaders of the 20-year old Mongolia's democratic revolution and memoirs of supporters and participants of these events. The authors of the book will be children. They intend to meet with the democratic leaders, witnesses and participants of the democratic processes, write essays, articles and interviews.
Authorities of the ATA--Dr. Stephen Schechter, a civil education in democracy, human rights and civil education expert, and Mr Roger Miller, an Alaskan teacher of history and civil education--will collaborate with teachers of 27 Mongolian schools within this project.
"We have learned that Your first decree issued upon assuming the Presidency was about including in a curriculum of secondary schools a new lesson about human rights, freedom, equality, rule of law--the fundamental values of a democratic society.
We do fully agree with You on the issue that only those who have knowledge and education about the democracy are able to live and lead in a democratic society," said Mr Schechter, professor of Political Science at Russell Sage college.
