\nAs part of the \u201cEntrepreneurship-Focused Socio-Emotional Skills for The Most Vulnerable Youth in Rural Mongolia\u201d project, Save the Children is featuring success stories of project teachers\/counselors, graduates, and business coaches in a series. This time we present the story of Ts. Purevsuren, a teacher\/counselor with the ESEL program in Uvurkhangai province. With generous funding from the Japan Social Development Fund and under the management of a World Bank, this four-year project prepares 6,000 children and youth in 25 soums of Khovd, Zavkhan, Uvurkgangai, Gobisumber and Sukhbaatar provinces in Mongolia for future employment.<\/p>\n

\"\"A story of becoming a teacher\/counselor<\/b><\/h5>\n

In 2021, the project developed an innovative training program \u201cEntrepreneurship-Focused Socio-Emotional Learning (ESEL)\u201d, aimed at providing socio-emotional skills and entrepreneurship education for local children and youth, and trained teachers\/counselors in target areas. Ts. Purevsuren, a teacher at General Secondary School No. 2 in Uyanga soum, Uvurkhangai Province, is one of the first teachers\/counselors trained to implement this program, which is being carried out for the first time in Mongolia. She has been working as an English teacher for 15 years and saw the ESEL as an opportunity to learn something new and develop professionally, so she submitted an application essay and was selected for the program to be trained as a teacher\/counselor.<\/p>\n

Since she teaches a social science subject, it was easy for her to study and guide her students on topics such as personal and socio-emotional skills taught in the ESEL program. The second part of the program, which focused on entrepreneurial skills, was completely new to her, and she gained knowledge in business and finance, such as writing a project proposal and understanding profitability and risk. In the spring of 2020, when the ESEL program accepted the first round of applicants in Uvurkhangai Province, 71 students applied to participate in the program, and 48 students were selected for the program by dividing them into two groups. Ts. Purevsuren taught 24 students in one group.<\/p>\n

Although the program was conducted under quarantine restrictions imposed due to the spread of COVID-19, she fully delivered the training content to the participants by relying on blended learning, which combines face-to-face learning with online technological tools.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
