Higher Education System Development
Mongolia is a sovereign state, located in Eastern Asia bordering with Russia and China. Covering 1,553,556 km2, Mongolia is the 18th largest country in the world by land mass and has a population of over three million people. Mongolia is one of the fastest growing emerging economies, where the higher education sector is seen as a crucial means to help accelerate sustainable economic and social development. The Mongolian higher education has experienced a remarkable expansion since its transition from planned economy to open-market economy when Mongolia became a democratic country in 1990. Between 1991 and 2017, the number of higher education institutions (HEIs) grew from 14 to 95, and gross enrollment ratio in tertiary level grew from 14.0% to 69.0% (Table 1).
