Introduction. In recent years, the Mongolian and Russian education systems have undergone significant transformations under the influence of Western standards. Currently, there is an acute competition in the educational market of Mongolia, in which Russia is losing its position. The current model of educational cooperation between Russia and Mongolia needs to be adjusted, which is impossible without in-depth study and clarification of data on the structure, content of the educational process, possible areas of cooperation in the future. Methodology and methods of the research. The methodological basis of the study is a system-genetic approach that allows considering the education system as a multilevel, internally structured integral phenomenon developing in internal relationships and in connection with the external environment. The main methods of research: analysis of statistical data and documents, observation, analytical method, the principle of unity of the logical and the historical. The results of the research. The modern education system of Mongolia is based on the priority of private property, traditional national values in its content, variability of forms of education, foreign investment and international cooperation. The introduction of the Cambridge educational standard contributed to the reduction of education to the provision of educational services with the use of personality-oriented individual approach. At the same time, interest in the Russian language, culture and Russian education remained among a large part of the Mongolian population. In the ranking of current specialties, the leading positions are occupied by areas related to business and social management, at the second position, engineering and production specialties, followed by education, social and humanitarian spheres. Much less prestige, have natural Sciences, mathematics and statistics, services, information and communication technologies, agriculture and forestry, veterinary medicine - in fact, those areas in which highly qualified specialists are trained in Russia. The main problems of professional training of the Mongolian youth and ways of their solving, both in Mongolia, and in Russia are defined. Conclusion. The development of mutually beneficial economic, cultural and political cooperation is possible only with the gradual systematic state support of cooperation in the field of education and training of required personnel.
