ESD-EVALUATION SWISS SUPPORT IN MONGOLIA REACHES REAL RESULTS A mid-term review of Education for Sustainable Development – II (ESD – II) project conducted from the September, 2021 until the April, 2022. During this period, an international evaluation team reviewed documents of project implementing 30 schools and visited a total of 14 schools. We have interviewed Ms.D.Altantsetseg, a member of the evaluation team. There is a common notion that a project can be done director and the accountant making decisions, controlling and procurement” within the using someone's money, with or without an enquiry. spending their money., framework of the topic, a How different is ESD Project - II from this concept? project aimed at imparting Another important feature of management is that there is a local knowledge, understanding and Although the ESD-II project was piloted in 30 schools and national advisory team, which provides methodological guidance skills is being implemented in 6 provinces, our evaluation team generally concluded and guidance to schools.

In addition, another thing that has been a great provide additional support and advice to the school from the branch “Delgermurun” complex school of Khuvsgul province revealed help to us is that there are two sources of funding that fund. This is a new culture. that it is establishing a “Labor Summer Camp” to provide students can be managed by the school itself (project and local). with animal husbandry, agriculture and life skills education within the Another feature is that all stakeholders are involved in While meeting with students in some schools in Orkhon province, framework of the “ESD-II” project.

It takes a long time to understand If you meet with the mayor of Erdenet, please tell him.” Later, during acquainted with the project activities of Khishig-Undur and Mogod when an outsider just assigns others to “implement a a meeting with local government officials, he shared the students' soums of Bulgan province project like this”. Often, some people in the school are suggestions and said that \"this management needs to be changed\" just participants and others just stay inactive as listeners and that he was looking for a solution. Students, teachers and soum ****** only. However, it is important for school leaders, teachers, authorities are working together to find a solution to the problem.

Representatives of the Netherlands present the “Flow- How did people in other countries react to your presentation? er Model” of the WSA implemented in the country. Also, were there many ideas to take from their presentation? ****** It was very well received. There are also many more ideas to take. For example, we were given a handbook that documented the experiences of all the countries that are introducing the WSA. We plan to translate in detail and implement them in each country using the ways in which they can be implemented. Examples include Japan, the Netherlands, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Are our mistakes and errors clearer than in other countries? In general, the way local partnerships work in most countries is that they work closely with other organizations. For example, we are partnering other organizations such as a factory or a school to bring secondary school children to study and have a few days of practice. As a result, the organization gets to know the schools, and on the other hand, the children get acquainted with the production activities of the organization and get an education for sustainable development. In Friesland, for example, students are introduced to a bakery and are involved in the process of making their own bread and selling them on their own. Every action taken here reflects the concept of sustainable development. 3 Continued on page 4

WE DON'T KNOW THAT SEEDS CAN BE ESD-GUEST PLANTED TO GROW TREES In connection with the National Tree Planting Day this May, B.Chimid, Honored Environmental Worker of Mongolia, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, was invited as a guest of this issue.
