Education
In Mongolia the morin khuur can be learned at three schools:
- the SUIS (соёлын урлагын их сургууль), engl. "university of arts and culture" Here students enter in adult age for obtaining a bachelor degree after 2 years and a master degree after 5 years of musical education After the master's degree the students are considered to be professional musicians, and can play at one of the state ensembles or later become a teacher at the SUIS.
- the music and dance college (хөгжим бүгжийм соллеж) Here usually children enter this school, which has a strong focus on music, but not exclusively
- the cultre school of the SUIS (СУИСы, соёлын сургууль) Here several qualification courses are available. Graduates from this school mostly become teachers or enter the SUIS
Also many amateur players acquiered reasonable skills by taking lessons from private teachers, or being taught by their parents, relatives, family.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A good education ought to help people to become both more receptive to and more discriminating about the world: seeing, feeling, and understanding more, yet sorting the pertinent from the irrelevant with an ever finer touch, increasingly able to integrate what they see and to make meaning of it in ways that enhance their ability to go on growing.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“A President must call on many persons—some to man the ramparts and to watch the far away, distant posts; others to lead us in science, medicine, education and social progress here at home.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
