Education in Mongolia: ASIA's two projects supported by MotoForPeace

In the suburbs of Ulaanbaatar, where air quality is among the most critical in the world and public schools host thousands of students in several daily shifts, ASIA supports two educational projects in suburban schools, which aim to improve learning conditions and to train a generation that is more aware scientifically and environmentally. Both projects will benefit from the support of the MotoForPeace 2026 mission.

Chemistry for All – Songinokhairkhan district

School No. 106 hosts over 2,500 students and often works on two or three shifts to cope with demand. The school still lacks an equipped science laboratory: chemistry is taught mostly in theoretical terms, without students being able to observe reactions or experiment with real processes. The project involves the creation of a chemistry and science laboratory and the purchase of up-to-date textbooks, with the goal of bridging the gap between central and suburban schools and opening up concrete paths towards STEM careers. The laboratory will also be open for afternoon workshops for the local community, with a focus on the theme of air pollution.
A chemistry laboratory allows students to:
• Analyse the quality of the local air and water.
• Understand the chemical processes linked to combustion and pollution.
• Become aware citizens able to propose scientific solutions for their own neighbourhood.

Eco School –  Bayanzurkh district

Mongolia is going through a phase of modernisation that requires experts in geology, medicine, environmental engineering and materials chemistry. Many students of School 106 have the potential but are at a disadvantage compared with their peers of the private schools in the centre. The project aims to guarantee educational equity, offering high-quality tools (books and laboratories) that open the doors of scientific universities also to the young people of the peripheral areas. School No. 79 hosts almost 2,700 students.
The project works on Classroom 104 to transform it into an eco-sustainable space, accessible also to students with disabilities. Planned are the renovation of the walls with eco-friendly materials, the installation of energy-saving LED lights, a high-efficiency air purifier, natural wood furniture and a separate waste collection system. A “Green Corner” with air-purifying plants will complete the space. The students themselves will be involved in the management of the classroom through the Eco Owners group, responsible for the care of the plants and for the monthly monitoring of water and electricity consumption.

The two interventions are flanked by a broader commitment of ASIA in Mongolia, oriented to sustainability, to the enhancement of local knowledge and to the strengthening of the most vulnerable communities.
