Modern astronomy is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field closely connected to physics, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, biology, and space science. This dynamic integration has increasingly attracted the attention of both the scientific community and the general public. In Mongolia, the establishment of the Astropark in 2014 under the Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, initiated by national hero and cosmonaut J. Gurragchaa, marked a significant step toward promoting public awareness of astronomy and space science, as well as introducing current scientific achievements and future directions. In the era of expanding scientific and technological demands, the need for innovative methods of science communication is becoming more pronounced. High-tech astronomical planetariums, for example, serve as multifaceted educational platforms that not only support astronomy education but also contribute to the development of integrated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning environments, fostering broader interest and engagement in these fields. This study aims to evaluate the quality and accessibility of astronomy content in Mongolia’s general education curriculum. It represents the first systematic assessment of astronomy education in the country and seeks to contribute to evidence-based educational policy reform. Content analysis was employed to examine the number, scope, and depth of astronomy-related topics included in the national curriculum.
