Standing committee head meets senior teachers
Ulaanbaatar,
May 20 (MONTSAME) Head of the parliamentary Standing committee on social
policy, education, culture and science D.Battsogt Monday received a delegation
of senior teachers.
The delegation
included Professor D.Amar, chairman of the Mongolian Association of Senior
Teachers; Ts.Sarangerel, a State Honored Teacher and a member of the
Association’s leading council; and R.Davaakhuu, director of the city’s 50th secondary
school and leader of the Chingeltei district’s Council for Senior Teachers.
Expressing
thanks to the Standing committee head for an audience, Professor Amar mentioned
that Mongolia currently has some 40 thousand senior teachers, and noted the association
is doing works to encourage them and introducing to them state resolutions and
decisions.
“By the
previous law on education, teachers used to undergo a medical examination every
five years as well as senior teachers of institutes and universities used to
receive incentives when they are retired. Now, teachers are allowed to get
retired after 25-year teaching works by the current law. It violates the law on
social insurance,” Amar stressed.
In response,
expressed gratitude to the association for paying great attention to teachers,
and then presented to them related draft resolutions and laws being discussed
at the Standing committee. Saying that an open discussion about the pension
reform will be held very soon, Battsogt MP noted teachers are allowed to take
part in this discussion. He added that the Standing committee is possible to
collaborate with the association.
