"We are strengthening cooperation with Mongolia in the field of education, with another 22 Mongolian scholarship holders set to begin their studies here in September. We are pleased that the Mongolian side has chosen the Czech Republic as one of the destinations to send its talents for education," stated Deputy Miller. The Czech Republic is home to one of the largest Mongolian communities in the world, and possibly the largest in the EU, with over 12,600 people. Czech schools, from kindergartens to universities, have a total of 1,932 Mongolian children, pupils, and students.
In 2022, the Mongolian government announced a scholarship program to support young talents, enabling them to obtain quality higher education in selected countries, including the Czech Republic, the USA, Canada, and Poland. The plan for sending students to the Czech Republic envisages 30 to 60 scholarship holders annually, who would first complete a year-long language preparation in Mongolia, followed by a year-long Czech language course in the Czech Republic, and then three years of bachelor's studies in Czech at a domestic university, especially in technological fields.
This academic year, a pilot cooperation was initiated at ČVUT, where eight Mongolian scholarship students are currently studying in English. From September this year, 22 candidates from Mongolia are expected to begin a year-long preparatory Czech language course at the Institute for Language and Preparatory Studies of Charles University.
Last year, Czech language teaching was also resumed at the Mongolian State University, with the Czech lecturers currently teaching 30 students. The Czech Republic also cooperates with Mongolia in the field of research, for example, in the project of reintroducing Przewalski's horses to the wild, which involves Czech scientists together with Prague Zoo.
