The 21st century we are living in, is defined to be an era of
the knowledge-based society. Qualified education is the base for
the survival of humanity and its prosperity. For this reason, teachers
play the most responsible role for developing citizens capable to
live in a competitive society, respective for the traditions and culture,
self-confident, willing to learn and get educated.
The Institute of Teacher’s Professional Development is the organization
working under the Ministry of Education, culture, science and sports
of Mongolia, and is responsible to support continuous development
of preschool, primary and secondary school teachers, administrators
and staff members.
In recent years, the institute has been conducting various activities,
which are based on ICT, for teachers’ professional development,
and has achieved certain results. For instance, a structure of national
professional development training for teachers and school staff
members has been developed as a blended form of face-to-face
and online teaching.

flexible activities, innovative ideas, creativity and positive attitude.
