The Department of Social Work Methodology was established in 1997 with the direct financial support and assistance of the British Government Partnership Program under the name of the Social Work Training and Research Methodology Center at the Mongolian National University of Education and began to train the first Bachelor's degree social workers in Mongolia. Starting from the 1999-2000 academic year, the Department of Social Work of MNUE has expanded into the Department of Social Work Methodology since 2014, and now has 8 faculty members and has trained more than 1,000 undergraduate graduates. Currently, 300 students are studying for bachelor's degree and more than 20 for master's degree. The department has played a major role in laying the foundation for the system of training higher-educated social work specialists in Mongolia, and its graduates are working in the fields of social welfare protection, schools, sum, khoroo, and health and child protection.
Also, in order to qualify and empower social workers working in the field of social work, in cooperation with the Departments of Ministry of Health, Ministry of Labor and Social Security, Ministry of Education and affiliated agencies, re-qualification of social workers is being conducted in provinces and districts. For example, more than 800 school social workers have been qualified in the 3-level training for school social workers, 600 specialists in the 3-5 level training for welfare social workers, more than 400 in the training of social workers of judicial decision-making bodies and committees, and more than 500 family and child protection workers have been qualified.
Since 2001, the Department of Social Work Methodology has trained over 200 professional social workers with a master's degree in social work. Graduates are governors, heads of departments, heads of non-governmental organizations, social workers, seniors in prisons affiliated to the General Department of Social Welfare, Education, Health, Court Judgment Execution, Local Government Unit Sum Committees, and governmental and non-governmental organizations for child protection. We have implemented a collaborative research and analysis works in together with the researchers, universities and organizations from Japan, United States and Russia. Also, we are cooperating with the United Nations Children's Fund, the International Labor Organization, World Vision Mongolia, and the Save the Children Foundation within the scope of academic priorities.
Social work students are engaged in academic and research work by exchanging mutual experience, learning to provide services that combine theory and practice, collaborating with civil society organizations to test new social services and implementing projects with the support of the school.
