How did expanded schooling affect young Mongolian writers during the socialist period?

During the socialist period in Mongolia, the establishment of a comprehensive system of schooling that extended to the university level significantly impacted the literary landscape. This educational expansion enabled many young Mongolian writers, poets, artists, and actors to achieve a level of self-expression that had not been available to them previously, albeit within the limits set by the ruling party.1

This new generation of writers utilized their education to contribute to a revolutionary and socialist literature that served the people by promoting new socialist values and critiquing the feudal past. While the state maintained control over cultural spheres and required literature to align with party interests, the rise of this educational system provided the foundational support for the development of modern Mongolian literature.1
