In this dossier the focus is mainly on the Mongolian language in education in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (hereafter: Inner Mongolia). The Khalkha dialect, which is a dialect of the Mongolian language, is written with its Cyrillic script in Mongolia. In Inner Mongolia, people write with Hudum, a vertical Mongolian script that is also known as the traditional Mongolian script. In China, there are three main Mongolian dialect groups: the Oirat dialect, the Inner Mongolian dialect and the Barag-Buryats dialect. The Inner Mongolian dialect is further divided into six dialects: Chahar, Khorchin, Kharchin, Baarin, Ordos and Alshaa. Among these, Chahar is considered as the standard Mongolian pronunciation in China (Qingeltai, 1999). Aspects that are addressed include features of the education system, recent educational policies, main actors, legal arrangements and support structures, as well as quantitative aspects such as the number of schools, teachers, pupils, and financial investments. The dossiers serve several purposes and are relevant for policymakers, researchers, teachers, students and journalists who wish to explore developments in minority language schooling mainly in Europe but also in other parts of the world. They can also serve as a first orientation towards further research, or function as a source of ideas for improving educational provisions.

Every Regional dossier begins with an introduction about the region concerned, followed by six sections that each deal with a specific level of the education system (e.g. primary education). Sections eight and nine cover the main lines of research into education of the concerned minority language, the prospects for the minority language in general and for education in particular. The tenth section gives a summary of statistics. Lists of regulations, publications and useful addresses concerning the minority language, are given at the end of the dossier.
