‘’Sustainable development is the pathway to the future we want for all. It offers a framework to generate economic growth, achieve social justice, exercise environmental stewardship and strengthen governance.’’ Ban Ki-Moon
‘’The Sustainable development strategy of Community university’’ was our last seminar topic. In this class we talked and discussed about experiences with some universities, colleges in Germany and in America.
In Germany, The Danish public colleges become an important lifelong learning institution. There are so many colleges, universities and education centers. I think All of those organizations main goal is improve people’s quality of life and education.
Education in its contemporary development should be aimed at the future, should “foresee” and form in a certain way and satisfy needs of future generations of people. That means that education should be anticipatory to social, economic and cultural life, it should form desirable sustainable future. But such ideas could not be realized in old organizational forms of education system. We need new organizational forms and educational institutions mobile, synergetic, creative, future-oriented- which could provide the implementation of new objectives and new historical functions of education.
Today education in Mongolia is overseen by the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science. There are many universities in Mongolia. The most prominent one is the National University of Mongolia in Ulaanbaatar. More than 90 percent of the faculty were Mongolian; teachers also came from the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, France, and Britain. Much instruction was in Russian, reflecting the lack of Mongol-language texts in advanced and specialized fields. Sustainable development strategy of Mongolian universities are improving year by year. Nowadays They are conducting new education system with Mongolian universities.
The world says "education is the key to sustainable development ". In my opinion We can improve the education system by making students clearly understand why they are studying. Teachers should change the attitude of students who are studying for their selfish purpose. Let students know that they have great potentials in every of them and every one has different abilities. The purpose of school is not to transfer knowledges, but to create people. The people that will determine the future and morality is everything.
Alexander Kapp said about education that self-reflection and educating the character are the first values in human life. So Everyrhing will depend on ourselves.
