Mongolia
Announces Its National Flower of Pride
The regular
Cabinet meeting of the Government was held on October 25, 2014, and one of the
issues resolved was to name the National Flower of Pride.
In the
Government Action Plan for 2014-2016, one of the tasks to implement is included
a policy to adhere in accordance with the principles of sustainable development
in tourism sector to attract travelers and promote special interest in the
natural and cultural diversification developing in each regions.
Accordingly,
Government of Mongolia resolved to name the Falcon as the "National Bird
of Glory" in October 2012, the Burkhan Khaldun as the “National Mountain
of Pride” in 2013.
In September
2014, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Mongolia stated to
announce the National Pride of Flowering Plant or Magnoliophyta by conducting a
poll among the population. The studies were made in collaboration with the
Ministry of Environment and Green Development and the Institute of Botany by
establishing a working group, where citizens, students, experts and researchers
were involved in this program to announce the National Flower of Pride.
In the list of
the first announced flowering plants, it was promoted eight species as below,
but the working group agreed to add the ninth type namely Ber Tsetseg (mon. Бэр
Цэцэг, lat. Scabiosa (Delphinium grandiflorum) or Butterfly Blue) and this
flower gained most opinions and votes to be named, because the first promoted 8
species mostly do not meet the requirements of international practices. For
instances, Mongol Altankhundgana is an endangered plant, which may soon not
exist and the most expected Vansemberuu is grown only on high mountains, but
the selection-winning Ber Tsetseg flower is spread across all over and
long-exist during the summer months as well as nectar rich and attract a
variety of insects including moths and butterflies, moreover the flower is able
being cultivated in the garden that require less maintenance.
As of today,
153 countries have their own national flowers of pride and the Ber Tsetseg
becomes a new flower adding the list of species.
The eight
species first promoted to be named as the National Flower of Pride of Mongolia:
1. Mongol
Altankhundgana (mon. Монгол Алтанхундгана, lat. Adonis mongolica),
2. Ikh
Shuudergene (Их шүүдэргэнэ, Chelidonium majus),
3. Numrugt
Banzdoo or Vansemberuu (Нөмрөгт банздоо, Вансэмбэрүү, Saussurea involucrata),
4. Durvulsun
Mugez or Altangagnuur (Дөрвөлсөн мүгэз, Алтангагнуур, Rhodiola quadrifida),
5. Tsagaan
Tseene (Цагаан цээнэ, Paeonia lactiflora),
6. Goviin
Khyalgana or Mongol Uvs (Говийн хялгана, Монгол өвс, Stipa gobica)
7. Mongol

Smartphone
use banned at a UB school
October 27
(news.mn) The use of smartphones during school hours has been banned for pupils
at the 84th Secondary School in Ulaanbaatar.
The school
board issued the decision as pupils use smartphones for browsing the internet,
taking photos, and listening to music during school hours. Concerns were also
raised about students losing expensive phones and having property stolen. This
is the only school in Ulaanbaatar that has banned the use of smart or expensive
mobile phones.
Social worker
of the 84th Secondary School, R.Tserensodnom spoke about the decision.
When did the school
board make this decision?
The school
board issued the decision to ban the use of smart or expensive
mobile phones at school when it discussed the school rules last year.
Although smartphones are technological advancement, they spoil students,
hindering their learning. The school also believes that mobile phones are just
a tool. Due to heavy usage, a smartphone battery lasts only one day or less,
but a normal mobile phone can keep battery power much longer, and it is more
economical as well.
There has been
a significant rise of youngsters with poor vision in recent years. Looking at a
smartphone display panel contributes to this somehow. Considering a
number of these facts, the school board has made this decision. We also think
the ban will prevent students from committing crime. Students may be victims of
smartphone robbery and theft after classes in the evening.
How has the
decision been complied with by students at the school?
How do you enforce
the decision?
There are 3,367
students, and the students know and comply with the decision. The school
installed cameras. Parents still tend to buy expensive smartphones for school
children, not knowing the consequences.
