This is a poster presented at the 7th Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education, organised by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE, https://astro4edu.org/shaw-iau/7th-shaw-iau-workshop/). Title: An Evaluation of the Quality of Astronomy Content in the General Education Curriculum Presenter:Banzragch Bat-Erdene (Space Research Center, Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics) Modern astronomy is rapidly advancing and interlinked with fields of natural and technology such as physics, math, engineering, and space science. It draws growing interest from both scientists and the public. In Mongolia, public engagement with astronomy began in 2014 through the Astropark, established by Mongolian first cosmonaut J. Gurragchaa. The Astropark promotes scientific knowledge and future trends in astronomy, influencing general education. As demand for science knowledge rises, planetariums have become key educational tools, offering immersive experiences that develop curiosity, deepen understanding, and support STEM learning in dynamic, multifunctional environments.
