The Oyu Tolgoi project’s development train is ready to board its passengers. Those with tickets sit comfortably in their seats, while others rush to the station to get one. Mongolians have already started to see the benefits of the Oyu Tolgoi project. The globally recognised investment that has brought new standards to Mongolia’s mining industry has had immense success. Thus, as project reaches its final stage of development there will be major changes entering our daily lives. 

Mongolia won’t lose its pace on the fast track to economic growth. As the development train heads towards its final stop at full speed, the hope is development shines brighter. The nation aims to emerge as another “Asian tiger”. 

Foreign investment is followed by financial freedom, management and technological know-how. Huge investment allowed Mongolia’s professional education sector to introduce itself to new instruction technologies, methods and financial freedom. The Oyu Tolgoi project brought new standards to Mongolia through its MNT 168 billion in education programmes. Officials have noted that Oyu Tolgoi’s advanced management method has become a reality. It aims to impart new standards, not only in the mining industry but also in the lives of common people. Industrialisation has proven its economic advantages as Mongolians can now benefit from these world standards with the larger salaries paid out by the Oyu Tolgoi project.

Everyone dreams of living happily. It is delightful to hear that the project is lending a helping hand with preparing society. Responsible mining has entered Mongolia and skilled professionals are being delivered. Around 30 lecturers are heading to Australia for retraining. Thirteen managers from the mining industry received the opportunity to study in Australia. The Oyu Tolgoi project has granted scholarships to foreign schools to 30 students as well as 200 scholarships to domestic schools. The project the developers have also started a campaign to train 1,200 teachers for fluency in English, and aim to make Mongolians bilingual.
In addition, the Oyu Tolgoi project has invested MNT 36 billion into 47 schools throughout the country. 

Cities such as Darkhan, Erdenet, Nalaikh, Govosumber and Umnugobi Aimag have also received a slice of the Oyu Tolgoi pie. New training and manufacturing centres are being built and expanded within those regions. Considering all these achievements, it seems the project has been fulfilling its aim for education. 

Sustainable development and social responsibility are the calling card of Oyu Tolgoi. Recent official news stated that a technical training centre with the capacity to hold up to 150 children wa commissioned for Khanbogd Soum. Community residents have started to witness the many advantages brought by the Oyu Tolgoi project. Children no longer have to rush to the city to attend school. New jobs have been created. In short, the Oyu Tolgoi company is investing in the Mongolia’s economy as well as the intelligence of the population.
