Earlier in May education and skills policymakers gathered in London for Education World Forum, with a number of ministerial delegations visiting the Pearson’s headquarters at 80 Strand. A highlight of the week’s engagement programme was Pearson’s signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the General Authority of Education of Mongolia, strengthening their relationship and cooperation efforts on English Language Learning and Workforce Skills.

The MoU confirmed Pearson and Mongolia’s mutual ambition of improving the state of learning and teaching in Mongolia, through the agreement to collaborate on both BTEC courses for Mongolian Technical Vocational Education Training centres and the improvement of a K12 English language course. The MoU signing marks the next step in Pearson’s partnership with the Mongolian Government, following the delivery of a pilot project by the English Language team earlier in March.

Led by Minister Enkh-Amgalan Luvsantseren, Minister of Education and Science, the 14-strong Mongolian delegation also included Head of the General Authority of Education and MoU signatory Nyam-Ochir Tumur-Ochir, Mongolian Ambassador to the UK Enkhsukh Battumur, Director General of Education Policy Planning Department Oyunaa Purevdorj, and other senior representatives from the ministry.
