Project on Strengthening School-Based Child Protection Presents Final Results

The results of the “Strengthening Child Protection in Partnership with Schools” project were presented on 28th November, 2025. The project was implemented from 2023 to 2025 in 14 schools and 14 multidisciplinary teams across Ulaanbaatar’s Khan-Uul, Bayangol, Chingeltei, Sukhbaatar, and Bayanzurkh districts, as well as in Govi-Altai and Khovd provinces, with funding from Save the Children Mongolia and Save the Children Hong Kong.

The project aimed to develop a school-based child protection system by engaging teachers, school staff, parents and caregivers, students, and multidisciplinary teams. It focused on strengthening prevention, early detection, and coordinated response mechanisms to protect children.

As a result, the project reached 42,369 adults and 49,114 children, while the capacity of multidisciplinary teams to deliver child protection services in cooperation with schools increased by 40.7%. This indicates notable improvements in schools’ ability to provide child protection services and strengthened collaboration with local communities.

According to Ts. Munkhzul, Director of the Family Policy Department at the Ministry of Family Labour and Social Protection, “The project’s final evaluation shows that the services provided by multidisciplinary teams increased by 1.1 points—representing a 38.5% improvement compared to the baseline. This demonstrates that the project’s interventions were effective and created meaningful impact.”

Representatives from the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Protection, the Ministry of Education, provincial education departments of Khovd and Govi-Altai, child and family development agencies, participating schools, multidisciplinary teams, students, and parent councils attended the project’s closing event.

For the 2025–2026 academic year, 900 general education schools nationwide are serving 819,907 students.
