"SOUTHERN MONGOLIA I KNOW" guide for the traditional Mongolian handwriting essay contest.
The Mongolian language and script is not only a common value of all Mongols, but also a precious heritage. It has been at the forefront of the perceived culture, education, books and scriptures over the past thousand years. The Mongol manuscript, which has been declared a state manuscript by Chinggis Khan, has faced numerous challenges throughout its history and has been handed down to us today. It is unfortunate that many Mongolians will no longer be able to speak, write or learn their native language as a result of the gradual reduction of the Mongolian script in Southern Mongolia from 2019 and changes in the school curriculum. Mongolia has set a goal to switch to the Mongolian script in 2025, and preparations are underway. We are living in a time, everyone should work hard, as it is the sacred duty of all Mongolians to spread the Mongolian script and pass it on to future generations.
Therefore, the “SOUTHERN MONGOLIA I KNOW” traditional Mongolian handwriting essay contest is announced from February 21 to April 25, 2022 among Mongolian secondary and high school students.
