studies, and extracurricular activities in all schools in Mongolia nationwide.
For providing practical
examples of lessons based on the Life-Safety Education Program, a series of
workshops (three times) for the teachers have been conducted in No.244
Kindergarten, No.13 School, and No. 42 School which were selected as model
schools.

workshops, Research Lessons1 has been conducted today, March 15 in
collaboration with Ministry of Education, Culture, Science, and Sports (MECSS),
National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in Mongolia, and JICA Expert Team
