The Minister of Education and Science Enkh-Amgalan Luvsantseren got acquainted with
the activities of the institutes of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences. This
time, they exchanged views on the issues facing the scientists and researchers
of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, and got acquainted with the activities of
the laboratories of the institutes and the results of the research work.
The Minister said that in the future, science sectors and
institutes will be able to solve the problems of their employees in the following
ways.
Clarify the legal environment for institutes and research organizations.
Implement government policy on salaries, bonuses and social
security for researchers. /The average monthly salary of a researcher is
850,000 MNT, which is 2-3 times less than a university professor's salary. In
other foreign countries, by contrast, researchers are highly paid. Go to this
standard/
In the future, the government will support the training of
researchers. For them, the wrong system of receiving low salaries and paying
high tuition fees for doctoral studies.Today, the majority of the Education Loan Fund is spent on
undergraduate scholarships. In the future, it will be more profitable for the
country to change this situation and support the advanced training of undergraduates
and doctoral students.
Get rid of the
wrong system when you return to work after studying abroad for a master's and
doctoral degree, and another person has already been hired in your position and
you are left without work.
In previous
years, the Science and Technology Foundation provided funding mainly for
applied research. But the results are not so good. Therefore, more funding will
be provided for basic research in the future.
Conduct an investment forum annually.Once
a year, bring together investors from all sectors and present the results of scientists’
research, feasibility studies, patents and utility models.Without such a multi-faceted funding
for science, the government will not be able to bear it all.
