MONGOLIA-CHINA-EDUCATION-PROTEST

Mongolians protest at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, against China's plan to introduce Mandarin-only classes at schools in the neighbouring Chinese province of Inner Mongolia on August 31, 2020. - China announced from September 1 that three key subjects taught in primary and middle schools in their province of Inner Mongolia will be taught in Mandarin instead of Mongolian, with Mandarin-language lessons to be introduced at a younger age. The announcement led to widespread opposition among parents, teachers and ordinary citizens in Inner Mongolia, fearing it will lead to a generation of children losing their mother tongue.
