The first day of school in Mongolia, and the tradition is to dress the children in their best clothes (many wear new deel), give them flowers, and take them to the school gate. The children are greeted by their teachers, and the first lesson is a lecture on the importance of education. The schools in Mongolia are named after famous Mongolians (Chinggis Khaan, Sukhbaatar, and Zorig), and the children are taught that education is the path to a better life. The day is also a time for the children to show respect to their teachers, and the tradition is to give the teacher a khadag (blue silk scarf) and a small gift.
