The education and lifestyle of O.Temuulen, Prime Minister L.Oyun-Erdene’s son, have recently drawn public attention, particularly regarding the costly gifts allegedly given to his girlfriend and the high expenses associated with his overseas studies.
O.Temuulen graduated from New Era International School in 2021 but did not pursue higher education at a Mongolian university. According to reports, he began a language training program at Harvard University in the United States during the past winter. This has raised public questions about the financial burden such a path entails.
According to the official website of Harvard’s Division of Continuing Education (DCE):
- The four-week winter program costs between $2,500 and $3,200 — approximately MNT 10 million.
- Dormitory accommodation is priced at around $1,400, or MNT 5 million.
- Including health insurance, meals, airfare, and visa expenses, the total cost of the winter program reaches $7,500 — MNT 26 million.
Should O.Temuulen continue language training for six months before enrolling in a full undergraduate program, the total cost would amount to at least MNT 85 million.
If he proceeds to enroll in Harvard College’s undergraduate program:
- Annual tuition is approximately $60,000, or around MNT 210 million.
- Living expenses, insurance, and other costs, the total yearly expenditure could reach MNT 250-300 million.
These figures have raised concerns about whether the Prime Minister could reasonably cover such expenses solely through his official income. As public debate unfolds, broader questions have emerged regarding financial transparency and the ethical expectations of public officials and their families.
