The Government Platform, 2012–2016 highlights employment as one of five goals in creating a sustainable and competitive economy1. Many initiatives are underway to reform TVET and general education systems in order to better prepare the МШuЧtrв’s labor force. The project will support the РШЯОrЧЦОЧt’s reform initiatives in the TVET and secondary education sectors. The project is included in Asian Development Bank (AөB)’s country operations business plan, 2014–2016 for Mongolia, and is aligned with AөB’s interim country partnership strategy, 2014–2016 for Mongolia, which has a focus on achieving inclusive growth and social development through broad-based employment generation2. 2. Innovative features. The project will introduce several innovations to MШЧРШХТa’s TVET system, including (i) support for sector sub councils, industry and professional associations, and employers to set standards for TVET programs and courses; (ii) creation of an independent competence assessment and certification system; (iii) strengthening of workplace training for TVET students and teachers; (iv) introduction of career guidance in junior secondary schools prior to tracking; and (v) development of a credit transfer system between senior secondary education, tertiary education, and TVET within a national qualifications framework. 3. Lessons. The project builds on past and on-going projects in the TVET sector supported by development partners and the private sector3. It also draws on lessons from previous involvement by ADB in the Mongolian TVET and general education sectors4. Major lessons from these projects are (i) various interventions—such as development of training curricula and materials, upgrading of equipment and facilities, and training for TVET teachers—need to be aligned with standards set in collaboration with employers, and industry and professional associations; (ii) institutionalized technical and vocational skills training for TVET teachers is indispensable to keep the skills of TVET teachers upgraded; (iii) provision of career information and guidance in early grades is essential to enable students to make an informed choice regarding their careers, and prepare them for work; and (iv) active public communication and consultations are some of the key sustainable reforms of TVET and general education systems requird in the country. Components and Summary Environmental Issues 4. Initially, the project was classified under environment category C as per ABS SPS 2009, because there were no construction activities planned and the planned physical works included indoor refurbishment works and provision of necessary equipment. The original scope for the eight TVET schools that required expansion were only refurbishment of the existing classroom buildings and provision of necessary equipment. However, as results of the initial site assessment conducted by the PIU engineers, the current facilities at 8 TVET schools (UB, Darkhan-Urguu, Bayanchandmani, Zuunkharaa, Arkhangai, Khuvsgul, Nalaikh and Bayankhongor) did not have enough space, thus additional small scale buildling construction works are proposed to construct/extend laboratory buildings (Annexure Table A1.2). The proposed small scale extension buildings within the existing school land area (the schools have land available for this) are not likely to cause a significant adverse impacts to surrounding environment and community5. Hence an IEE has been prepared for due to 1 Government of Mongolia. 2012. Government Platform, 2012–2016. Ulaanbaatar. 2 ADB. 2014. Country Operations Business Plan: Mongolia, 2014–2016.
