[hr-education] Re: Main achievements and obstacles in first half of the Decade

Dear Friends,

First of all I extend my warmest greetings from Mongolia on behalf of
Amnesty International-Mongolia.

It is nice to hear that Amnesty Slovenia has worked very hard on HRE and
achieved certain steps to develop HRE. Although UN declared Decade for
HRE, in Mongolia there is no national plan either. AI Mongolia has
initiated a HRE library since 1998. Since that time, AI Mongolia organized
many HRE seminars and trainings for secondary school teachers. But it is
not enough to promote HRE throughout in Mongolia. We need to make some
lobby to the Ministry of Enlightenment to incorporate HRE into the
official curriculum. But we need some experience. I hope that AI Slovenia
will share its experience with us.

I am looking forward hearing from you soon.
