Primary Education
Education in Bhutan in the mountainous region between China and India is a voluntary affair, because many of the people live in far-flung places where they follow traditional lives. In larger settlements where primary schools exist, children are taught for seven years, mainly in English.Secondary Education
Even fewer children complete a further four years of secondary education, which follows a general academic curriculum without opportunities for specialization. More wealthy parents have the choice of sending children to private schools instead, often in foreign countries.Tertiary Education
There is a single higher-level junior college, and two teacher training colleges. The sole tertiary institution is the University of Bhutan, founded by royal decree in 2003 and illustrated here.Its faculties offer diplomas and degree courses in science & technology, business studies, traditional medicine, language & culture, education, health sciences, natural resources, and management. Students whose needs are not catered for will study elsewhere abroad.
The Singapore International
Foundation (SIF) ICT in Education project was initiated in 2000 to assist
Bhutan's Ministry of Health and Education (MoHE) to introduce ICT into its
education system to help bridge the gap between the low ICT-skills among pupils
(the future workforce) and the growing adoption of ICT technology in the
workplace. The project, conducted by the SIF Specialist information technology
(IT) team, also trained teacher educators and curriculum design specialists to
utilize ICT in their work and to integrate computer-based training materials
into the school curriculum. Funding for the project was obtained from the Singapore
Government and philanthropic foundations in Singapore.
