Investing in our Children
The government is delighted to have brought about this major reform in our education system and being able to fulfill one of the key pledges presented to the people of Bhutan during the elections.
As the government has always asserted, the move to allow all Class X passed students to study in the Higher Secondary Schools came about following series of interactions with the people at the grassroots level and this is a genuine affair that we cannot ignore, if we are to enrich those who are deprived and disadvantaged. This significant change is a noble move that is timely and critical for our country. The government also understands that there are concerns being raised. Some of of the rational behind making this historical move in our education system are:
