ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Honble Secretary and the Management
Committee of the MoE for their valuable inputs in improving the Annual Education Statistics
report.
The Policy and Planning Division, MoE is greatly indebted to the National Statistics Bureau,
MoLHR, MoF, RUB, MoA, Dratshang Lhentshog, WFP and also the Departments and Divisions
within the Ministry, for their support in bringing out this report. This support has enabled the
publication of increasingly more relevant, accurate and timely information on education in
Bhutan.
We would like to thank all the Principals and teachers of the schools, who were the main
contributors providing the required school data, and the Dzongkhag Education Officers, who
helped to ensure that the data provided were accurate and timely.
Lastly we would like to congratulate and thank our ICT team for enabling the automation
of education statistics through the Education Management Information System which has
become fully functional. We hope that the institution of the EMIS and new system of reporting
information will make it easier and more convenient for all stakeholders and especially the
schools who are ultimately responsible for ensuring that accurate and timely data is reported.
We also solicit our readers valuable comments and suggestions to help improve our AES in
the future.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY

The Policy and Planning Division (PPD) collects data on school enrolment and other information from
the schools, and other agencies every year in order to ensure that all relevant stakeholders have
access to good quality information on the education sector. The information collected is compiled
in the form of this report which provides summarized information on general school-based, nonformal, continuing, vocational, tertiary and monastic education within Bhutan and to some extent
information on Bhutanese students studying outside Bhutan. In addition to information on the
academic year 2012, some historical comparisons are also made.
The report aims to help stakeholders in planning, monitoring and evaluating education sector
programmes, and to make informed decisions. At the same time, it provides data required for
monitoring progress towards the MDGs, SDGs, and other international goals and targets which
the country is party to. It is hoped that the findings will serve as a basis for equity-based programming, as well as contribute towards sound policy analysis and planning and also serve as a
pointer to a whole spectrum of studies and surveys on the Bhutanese education system.

DATA COLLECTION
The EMIS data collection tool, a digitized version of the Annual School Census Forms - (ASCF)
built in excel is used to collect the data for preparing this report. The tools are distributed to all
the schools and extended classrooms through the Dzongkhag Education Offices at the beginning
of the academic year. The school principals take the responsibility for filling in the information
and the Dzongkhag Education Offices for collecting, checking and returning it to the PPD by end
of March.
This annual report presents national data in primary and secondary schools. Enrolment patterns,
regional geographical trends, types and location of schools, students and staffing, demographic
characteristics and student participation in selected education programs are reported. Where data
permits, the exhibits compare information across years.

Schools, 56 Middle Secondary Schools, 2 private Middle Secondary Schools, 34 Higher
Secondary Schools, 14 Private Higher Secondary Schools and 96 ECCD centers (29 private, 8
NGO based and 54 community based). The total school enrolment for the current academic
year is 1,78,359 which includes 1,10,575 in primary schools, 50,828 in Lower and Middle
Secondary Schools, 15,244 in Higher Secondary Schools, 42 in the National Institute for the
Visually Impaired and 1670 in the Continuing Education programme.
Additionally a substantial number of children are studying abroad. Many parents send their
children to schools in towns like Kalimpong, Darjeeling and Chennai in India under private
funding. At the school level there are over 350 students studying outside Bhutan and about
3855 students at the tertiary level with majority of them studying in India.
Adult literacy programmes are offered to 13,360 learners in 953 Non-Formal Education centres across the country.
The RUB has 11 colleges located across the country, while under the MoLHR there are 8
vocational training institutes. The central monastic body has 388 monastic schools (the
number of private monastic institutions remains unaccounted for). That makes a total of 2011
educational institutions in the country.
In 2012, three Primary Schools, one private Higher Secondary School and 17 Extended
Classrooms were opened while seven schools were upgraded to Lower Secondary, six to
Middle Secondary (4 public and 2 private) and three to Higher Secondary. At the same time, 7
Primary Schools were downgraded to ECRs, while 8 ECRs were upgraded to Primary Schools.
Additonally, 5 ECRs and 3 Primary Schools(1 public and 2 private) were closed.
Excluding the monastic teachers, there are 10,459 teachers and Instructors in Bhutan. In the
school system alone, there were 7932 teachers as of March 2012.
This year the Net Primary Enrolment Ratio (NER) stands at 96% , meaning that 96% of 6-12
years old are enrolled in the primary education program. This does not include the 6-12 year
olds who are enrolled abroad, in the secondary levels, or in the monastic education system.

The increasing enrolment and primary school completion rates indicate that Bhutan is on
track to achieving the Millenium Development (MDG) Goals. However the last mile will be
the hardest to achieve. Currently, it is estimated that 2% of primary age children are out of
school. This 2% are expected to be children in remote and hard to reach areas, children of nomadic communities and migrant populations, children with learning disabilities whose special
learning needs are currently not catered for and children of the urban poor. These children
may be out of school because of their differing needs from the majority of the students, and
the key challenge is to put in place innovative and cost effective strategies to provide access
to a quality education.
The increase in enrolment at the primary education level is now placing enormous pressure
at the secondary schools, thus resulting in overcrowded classrooms. Therefore another key
challenge will be to provide space at the secondary level for students moving up from the
primary level. Progress made within the primary education programme over the last decade
to meet the MDGs and the Education for All goals has placed enormous pressure on limited
resources of teachers, facilities and finance and severely tested the capacity of the system to
deliver Bhutans commitment to provide quality education for all. A major challenge therefore
lies in maintaining a level of resources to support both expansion and qualitative development
of the basic education programme.

OVERVIEW OF
THE EDUCATION
SYSTEM
1.1. THE MODERN EDUCATION SYSTEM
Until the 1950s, education in Bhutan was mainly monastic. Literacy was confined to the
monasteries, and many eminent Bhutanese scholars traveled to Tibet to study Buddhist
scriptures. The only formal education available to Bhutanese students, (with the exception of
a few private schools in Haa and Bumthang established in 1913/1914), was through Buddhist
monasteries. Today, the education system in Bhutan has three main elements: general
education, monastic education and non-formal education. The first type of education is by far
the biggest and is commonly seen as the only educational structure.
While monastic education continues to be an important part of the national culture, the
current formal education system has been promoted and expanded since the first Five Year
Plan in 1961 to address the basic educational needs, and develop human resources required
for the socio-economic development of the country. Within a period of five decades, the
Royal Government has been able to expand the modern education system from about 11
schools prior to the first Five Year Plan in 1961 to 670 schools and institutes in 2012, spanning
from primary schools and early childhood care and development (ECCD) centres to tertiary
and vocational institutes. Fig. 1.1 shows the progressive growth of the number of schools and
institutes since the 1st Five Year Plan (FYP).

At the same time the expansion of the education system has been accompanied by rapid
growth in the enrolment of students. From about 400 students in the early 1960s, total
enrolment has increased in all levels of formal education and tertiary institutes in Bhutan
to 1,88,214 as of March 2012, reflecting a growth of about 20% since the start of the 10th
Five Year Plan in 2008.
Fig. 1.2 shows the progressive increase in enrolment in schools and institutes since the
1st Five Year Plan
Figure 1.2 Growth in enrolment in Schools and Institutes

For those who could not attend general or monastic education, basic and post literacy
courses in Dzongkha are offered all over the country in non-formal education centers.
Since 2006, the Ministry of Education in collaboration with higher secondary schools,
has initiated a continuing education programme, to allow school drop outs the opportunity to continue their education and upgrade their qualifications.

1.1.1. General education structure


The school-based education structure in Bhutan comprises of 11 years of free basic education
from classes PP to X, divided into 7 years of primary education (PP-VI), which starts at the age of
6, and 4 years of Secondary Education (VII-X). At the end of the cycle (Class X) there is a national
board examination, Bhutan Certificate for Secondary Education (BCSE).
Beyond class X, students either continue their general education in classes XI and XII in Higher
Secondary schools or join the vocational training institutes or enter the labour market based on
the students performance in the board examinations (BCSE). Students who do not qualify for
government funded education attend private higher secondary schools in Bhutan or abroad and
vocational courses organized by private training institutes. The duration of vocational training in
both government and private institutes vary depending upon the type of course.
After completing class XII (public and private), graduates either continue their studies at the
tertiary level under one of the institutes under the Royal University of Bhutan (RUB) for a diploma
or a bachelors degree, or enter the job market. Selection for the RUB is based upon BHSEC results.
A limited number of students are selected for government scholarships for professional studies
abroad, while others fund themselves to tertiary education institutes in country and abroad. Some
graduates from the Vocational Training Institutes are selected to continue education at the tertiary
level.

1.1.2. Schools in General Education


At the primary education level a school was earlier either called a primary school or a community
primary school. Since both schools offer, in principle, similar kind of schooling (seven years of
education, from PP to VI), the decision to rename all Community Primary Schools as Primary
Schools was endorsed during the 15th Annual Education Conference (AEC). As of the 10th FYP,
and in order to reach the smallest population catchment areas, extended classrooms (ECRs)
have also been established. Extended Classrooms are extensions of primary schools in remote
and scattered settlements, established with the intention of bringing education closer to
communities and reducing walking distances for very young children.
At the secondary level, the classification of a school depends on the final class that is taught.
Schools that have Class VIII as their final class, are called Lower Secondary, while schools that
have Class X or XII as their terminal classes are called Middle Secondary and Higher Secondary
Schools respectively.

1.2 General Education Curriculum


Encapsulated under the Educating for GNH umbrella, the objective of all school education in
Bhutan is to impart a well rounded and value based education so that the product is a GNH
graduate with the right skills, attitudes and values. In this respect, and in order to ensure that
the values and principles of GNH are infused into the education system and practised as a way of
being by both students and teachers, the Guidelines for Educating for GNH have been developed
and all school leaders are currently undergoing training.
At a basic level, the objective of primary education in Bhutan is to impart basic literacy and
numeracy skills, to provide knowledge of the countrys history, geography, culture and traditions
and to teach the fundamentals of agriculture, health & hygiene, and population education.
Moral and value education are given special attention. Activity-based learning is used uniformly
across the country to teach these skills and knowledge. Class IX students can choose between
Economics, Commercial Studies and Computer Applications while in higher secondary education
students have to choose between Arts, Commerce and Science. From 2011, 6 schools located
near vocational training institutes also offer vocational skills as an optional subject in classes IX
and X.
The Bhutan Council for School Examinations and Assessment (BCSEA) [formerly known as BBE]
conducts the national examinations for classes X and XII. The examinations for classes VI and VIII
have been decentralized to the schools, although the questions, model answers and marking
schemes are provided by the BCSEA.
Curriculum reforms of English, Dzongkha and Mathematics were initiated in the 9th FYP and
are continued in the 10th FYP, especially for Dzongkha and Mathematics. Figure 1.4 provides an
overview of the curriculum up to Class XII.

1.3 Education Administration


The responsibility for the administration of education in Bhutan is shared amongst the Ministry
of Education (MoE), the Ministry of Labour and Human Resources (MoLHR), the Royal University
of Bhutan (RUB), the Dzongkhags and the Gewogs. Monastic education is the responsibility of
the central monastic body and privately managed independent monasteries.
The MoE is responsible for policy planning, curriculum development and administration of
Basic (Primary up to Middle secondary), Higher Secondary and Non Formal and Continuing
Education. It is also responsible for ex-country tertiary level scholarships, and the design and
implementation of Higher Education Policy. This includes liaising with institutions at that level,
such as the RUB. The organizational structure of the MoE is presented in the appendices.
The Dzongkhag Administrations are entrusted with a range of responsibilities in the education
sector, both formal and non formal education, school construction and maintenance, supply of
teaching learning materials, deployment of teachers within the Dzongkhag and implementation
of national policies. These responsibilities are carried out by Dzongkhag Education Officers
(DEOs), and Assistant DEOs, all of whom report both to the Dzongdag and the Ministry of
Education.
The MoLHR is responsible for vocational training after class X and the Royal University of
Bhutan (RUB) is responsible for planning, curriculum development and administration of the
eleven tertiary institutions responsible for the provision of public education after class XII.

PRE-PRIMARY
AND PRIMARY
EDUCATION
2.1. early childhood care and development
Early Childhood Care and Development
(ECCD) is defined as programmes and
services for children from conception to age
eight and their families, encompassing health
and nutrition services, early stimulation
and education, and parent education
and support. ECCD emphasizes a holistic
approach focusing on the childs physical,
emotional, social and cognitive development,
so as to nurture childrens physical and
mental development and to prepare them
for school and life with the right attitudes
and dispositions. ECCD is therefore seen as
a way to maximize developmental potentials
of children, and improving learning outcomes
ultimately leading to reduction in costs
and improvements in the efficiency of the
education and health systems.
In order to provide the best start in life for
young children and especially those from the
disadvantaged sections of the community,

Annual Education Statistics

the Ministry of Education has adopted a


two pronged strategy for the provision of
ECCD through a) the promotion of sound
parenting and child care practices for
young children through home and family
based interventions using the mass
media, NFE centres, health
facilities and schools and b) promotion of
and support to early childhood care and
development centres to enhance early
learning opportunities for children age
3 to 6, through community based ECCD
centres and centres run by private sector,
civil society organizations and corporate
bodies.
As of March 2012, there are 96 ECCD
Centres in the country as shown in the
map below:

2.2. extended classrooms


The 10th FYP emphasizes the universalization
of primary education, to ensure that all
citizens are equipped with at least the
minimum knowledge and skills to lead
better lives. The plan envisages achieving
100% NER in primary education, 90% NER in
basic education, and a literacy rate of 70%
in the 15+ age group. To achieve this target
the Ministry of Education is committed to
improving the quality of basic education and
also the efficiency of the education system,
and at the same time increasing access to
primary and secondary education.

3251 students or over 3% of primary


students are enrolled in ECRs this year.
Without ECRs, these students would
otherwise have been out of school, or
had to either walk long distances or be
enrolled in boarding schools to access
education.
These initiatives have enabled the RGoB
to improve Net Primary Enrolment Ratio
(NPER) from 88% at the start of the 10th
FYP to 96% in 2012.

The establishment of Extended Classrooms


(ECRs) is aligned with these efforts to improve
access to school for every child, and especially
in remote, rural and scattered villages where
students have to walk long distances to school

2.3. Pre-Primary and Primary Education


Primary education is universally agreed to be a
prime driver of sustainable economic and social
development. It helps accelerate progress
towards the achievement of development goals
of other sectors in addition to the fact that a
well educated population is a huge asset and a
desirable end in itself. Moreover, investments
in primary education pay off handsomely in the
long term and have a notable impact in helping
reduce poverty and inequity. Recognizing this,
the Royal Government has continually invested
in expanding primary education over all the
five year plans and is well on track towards
achieving all of its education related goals and
targets under the Millennium Development
Goals. In the 9th FYP, 111 community primary
and primary schools were established
increasing the total primary enrolment from
93,974 in 2003 to 106,100 in 2008. Over the
same period, the gross primary enrolment
ratio increased from 81 % to 112%, while the
net primary enrolment ratio increased from
62% to 88%.

As of 2012, which marks the last year of


the 10th FYP, there are 353 primary schools
and the total primary enrolment stands at
1,10,575. The primary GER has increased
to 118% and the Primary NER to 95.7% in
2012.
While there has been considerable
expansion in the first grade of primary
education with an average growth rate of
0.6% per annum from 2002 to 2012, there
has also been a notable decline in growth
rate from 2009 onwards, with a decrease
of 8% between 2011 and 2012.
This may be an indication of the reduction
in the number of out of school students as
well as the decline in population growth
rate due to family planning and or delayed
marriage and childbirth. The decrease
could also be attributed to the increase in
the number of ECRs which help in enrolling
right age children and also covering
the out of school children starting from
2010 onwards, leading to some sort of
stabilization in the enrolment in the early
grades. This is shown in table 2.1 below:

Table no 2.1 shows the Apparent Intake Ratio


(AIR) (which is an indication of the number
of children enrolled in PP for the first time as
a percentage of the right age population or
6 years old) and the Net Intake Ratio (NIR)
(which indicates the number of 6 year old
children enrolled in PP for the first time as a
percentage of the number of 6 year olds in the
population), for the last 6 years for both private and public students (excluding those 6-12
years old children enrolled in the monasteries
and abroad).

As shown in the table, the AIR which had


always exceeded 100% in the past years,
showed a decrease from 2011 onwards.
This could be due to the decline in new
admissions in PP since 2010 against the
increasing population of 6 year olds. Such
deflation of figures could also be attributed
to the high variation in population figures.

Figure 2.1 Pre-primary enrolment by age, March 2012

The Net Intake Rate (NIR) in 2012 stands


at 46%, meaning that 46% of the right age
population (6 years old) are enrolled in the
1st grade (PP) of primary. However according to our administrative data, 52% of the PP
enrolment including the repeaters are of right
age (6 years old), while 48% are either overage
(41%) or underage (8%).

Page

Table 2.2 below shows the new admissions


in PP for the last 9 years. The declining PP
enrolment since 2010 could be a positive
impact of the initiatives taken by the
government to improve access, such as the
establishment of ECRs, provision of boaring
and feeding etc, which may have resulted
in the enrolment of most out of school
children.

While the government has been successful in reaching almost all the children, ensuring right age
admission will always remain a challenge since children enrol in school at different ages due to
various factors such as parental preference, walking distance, illness, special needs etc.

The table above shows the age-specific enrolment rates for primary classes. This actually highlights
the extent to which the offical age of admission is followed and maintained. Therefore, on average,
only about 33% of primary enrolment is of right age and about 67%, or more than half the primary
enrolment comprises of over aged and under aged children.

2.4. Primary Net and Gross Enrolment Ratio (GPER and NPER)
Table 2.5 below presents the key education indicators for access to education, Gross Primary

the population provided in the Projection of Population and Housing Census 2005. We can see
from the table below that the NPER and GPER at all levels have increased significantly since 2007.

The biggest increases are observed for the NPER


increasing from 88% in 2008 to 95.7% percent
in 2012; with an almost equal representation of
boys and girls.
The NPER for girls grew by 12 percentage points
over the four-year period, compared to 11
percentage points for boys, indicating increased
girls enrolment. This can also be attributed
to the fact that fewer boys than girls enroll in
school at the official school age.

2.4.1. Net Attendance Ratio


The adjusted Net Primary Attendance Ratio
(NAR), an indicator generated from a household
survey the Bhutan Multiple Indicator Surveyconducted by the National Statistics Bureau, is
an indicator analogous to the adjusted NER. Its
primary function is to indicate the participation
rates of children aged six to twelve in education
and not the number of days the child is
attending school. Although the data is from
the survey conducted in 2010, in the absence
of reliable dzongkhag level population data, it
is presented here in order to provide an idea of
the indicators at the dzongkhag level. It would
also be useful to bear in mind that the findings
of house-hold surveys typically under report
the findings from administrative data sources
(UNESCO, 2010). However, the adjusted NAR
for Bhutan from the BMIS at 91.9%, compares
to the NER for 2010 at 93.7%. The difference
between the two indicators is well within the
error margins of the survey.

Annual Education Statistics

Table 2.6 below presents the adjusted


NAR by Dzongkhags and gender for 2010.
Bumthang, Sarpang, Pemagatshel, Thimphu
and Trongsa are the five Dzongkhags with
the highest surveyed adjusted NAR, while
Punakha, Chukha, Mongar, Lhuentse,
Wangdue and Gasa are the six Dzongkhags
with the lowest adjusted NAR. These six
Dzongkhags also have adjusted NAR below
90%.
In 2006, only Bumthang and Trongsa had
NER above 90%. In all 20 Dzongkhags,
participation rates of six to twelve years
old children in education had improved
significantly by 2010 as per the BMIS 2010.
Samtse, Tsirang, Sarpang, Haa and Chukha
had increased participation rates of children
six to twelve years old in education by more
than 15% each.

In terms of gender, 15 of the 20 Dzongkhags


had GPI close to 1.0, indicating equity in
terms of participation. Thimphu, Dagana,
Samtse and Gasa are the only four
Dzongkhags that have GPI of exactly 1.0.
The five Dzongkhags that have GPI score
that diverge from 1.0 by more than 0.03,
indicating inequity in terms of participation
of the two genders, are Pemagatshel,
Trongsa, Haa, Punakha and Mongar. In each
of these Dzongkhags, the participation
levels of girls in primary education greatly
exceeds that of boys.

The net primary enrolment ratios for girls showed much higher growth rates than for boys.
In terms of enrolment, there are no gender disparities between boys and girls, with girls
sometimes doing better than boys at the national level. However as per the BMIS 2010, there are
significantly more boys enrolled in T/Yangtse and Lhuentse, while, in Punakha Mongar and Haa,
there are more girls enrolled.

2.4.2. Adjusted Net Primary Enrolment Ratio (ANER)


Despite the increase in NPER over the
years, full enrolment would never actually
be achieved unless all children enrolled in
various levels of education and in various
forms are accounted for. The traditional
definition of NPER looks only at children
aged 6-12 years enrolled in the primary
grades.
This leaves out children of the same age
group enrolled abroad, in secondary levels
or in the monastic education system.
Recognising this drawback of the traditional
definition, the Ministry of Education has now
come up with a new definition to ensure
that all children are accounted for when
measuring primary education coverage.
The new definition is called Adjusted Net
Enrolment Ratio (ANER) and looks at all
6-12 year old children enrolled in the school
system both in-country and abroad and also
children enrolled in the monastic system. In
2012, 1.3% of the 6-12 years old children
are enrolled in secondary classes.
While it is not possible to know how many
children are exactly enrolled abroad and in
the monastic system, the BMIS 2010 survey
provides an indicative figure of the proportion of children studying abroad and in the
monastic system as follows:

Page

28

a) The BMIS indicates that about 0.7% of 6-12


year old children are studying in the monastic
schools.
b) The BMIS also indicates that about 0.4
percent of 6-12 year old children are studying
outside Bhutan.
c) We know from administrative data that 1.3%
of the 6-12 years old children are enrolled in
secondary schools in Bhutan.
From the above, we can conclude that the adjusted net enrolment ratio for primary education or 6-12 years old children is 98%.
This means that approximately 2% of the
primary age children are out of school. It is
expected that these may be children in remote
and hard to reach areas, children of nomadic
communities and migrant populations, children
with learning disabilities whose special learning
needs are currently not catered for and children
of the urban poor. These children have different
needs from the majority of the students, and
the key challenge is to put in place innovative
and cost effective strategies to provide equal
and equitable access to quality education for all
children.

Annual Education Statistics

Figure 2.4 Division of primary enrolment

The estimated number of out of school primary school age children is around 2,348 (2%). The
box below analyses some of the possible reasons why these children may be out of school.

Box 2.1 Assumptions on why 2% of primary school aged children are


out of school

A large proportion of these children are 6 years old and not yet in school. Since
the NIR is estimated to be around 46%, while the AIR is around 84%, more than
50% of the children entering school for the first time are older than 6 years old,
while some 8% are younger, especially in the private schools. Based on the available data, around 18% of the primary enrolment are over the age of 12 and 1%
of the primary enrolment are 5 years and below. It is estimated that around 7% of
the 6-12 year old children are 6 years old and not yet enrolled. Given the limited
spaces in urban areas and the difficult walking distances in remote areas, it is
very likely that most of them will be enrolled next year or the year after.

The last group are the children 7 years and older who are currently out of school.
They will have dropped out or never went to school. Looking at the current age
of entrants in PP some might still enroll or return to school while some will not.
Since the age of the drop-outs is unknown, it is not possible to estimate how
many of these children have actually dropped out and how many never went to
school.

Some of the out of school children mentioned above would also include disabled
children who may not be able to access education due to lack of adequate facilities. In order to achieve universal primary education it would be necessary to
make provisions also for the education of all disabled and special needs children.

SECONDArY
EDuCATION
VII-XII
The objective of the secondary education
development programme in the 10th FYP
is to enhance net enrolment ratio in basic
education level to near 90% and maintain the
proportion of students continuing to class
XI in government schools at approximately
40% of the graduating grade X cohort. The
other objective of the secondary education
programme is to make it more relevant by
realigning the curriculum to meet the emerging
needs of the Bhutanese economy.
Secondary education in Bhutan follows a fouryear cycle (VII-X) comprising of two years of
lower secondary (VII-VIII), and two years of
middle secondary (IX-X), followed by two years
of higher secondary school (XI-XII).
With the basic education level being raised
from grade VIII to X, a majority of the students
now proceed on to grade X and beyond.
Enrolment in classes VII to X increased from
31,448 in 2004 to 50,828 in 2012 or with an
average increase of 6% over the last eight years.
To accommodate this expansion, seven schools
were upgraded to Lower Secondary and three
public and two private to Middle Secondary
in the 2012 academic year. Currently, there
are 152 lower and middle secondary schools
contributing to the gross enrolment ratio and
net enrolment ratio, at basic education level,
of 108% and 94% respectively.

3.1 LOWER AND MIDDLE SECONDARY


EDUCATION (VII-X)

The following table gives the enrolment for


classes VII to X since 2002. Since private
schools hardly offer these levels there is no
distinction made between public and private
students. The annual growth at this level
has been very high since 2002, especially
compared with the growth in primary
education.

There is a remarkable increase in the


secondary enrolment with an average
annual increase of 6.3% for the past ten
years, although the enrolment ratio is
low in terms of correct age enrolment i.e.
39 %( VII-VIII) and 29 %( IX-X) in Lower
and Middle Secondary level respectively,
with again more girls enrolled at the
correct age. But the overall secondary
(VII-X) gross enrolment ratio stands at 107
and 80% respectively. (See summary for
details)

As of recent statistics, Transition Rate from


Primary to Secondary education is 98.5% i.e.
about 1.9% increase since last year. This means
that almost 99% of students enrolled in class VI
in 2011 are enrolled in class VII in 2012.
The transition rate from primary to secondary
was 99.8% for girls and 97% for boys, indicating
that more girls transition to the secondary level
than boys. Not only do girls have very high
primary school enrolment ratios, they are also
more likely to continue their education at the
secondary level.

3.2 Higher Secondary EDUCATION (XI-XII)


There are currently 48 higher secondary schools
including 14 private schools in the country.
Establishment of private schools is being
encouraged to develop a more sustainable
education system as well as to diversify choices
for education to the public. Today, there are
twenty six private schools catering to the
various education levels in the country.

Due to the increased enrolment at the


primary, lower and middle secondary
education levels, and the Royal
Governments decision to raise the basic
education level to grade X, there has
been a notable increase in the number
of students continuing their education
beyond grade X. Three middle secondary
schools have been upgraded to higher
secondary level in 2012. The enrolment in
grades XI-XII has increased from 6,691 in
2004 to 15,244 in 2012, with an average
increase of 11% over the last eight year.

Annual Education Statistics

Overall, the enrolment has increased


tremendously in the last 9 years. With
the increase in enrolment at the primary
level and the continued improvement in
transition rates from Primary to Secondary
and from Secondary to Higher Secondary,
this growth will continue for quite some
time.
The NER in Higher Secondary education
currently stands at only 20%, which means
only 20% of 17-18 years old are enrolled
in Class XI and XII. The remaining 80%
are either enrolled at the lower classes
(50%), monastic(8%) education, studying
outside Bhutan (0.7%) or are out of school
(14%). The adjusted NHSER stands at 86%
indicating that 86% of 17-18 year olds are
accessing education.
While the enrolment of right age (1718 year olds) students is low, the overall
enrolment in classes XI and XII is 59%
(GER) including the students in continuing
education (53% for only regular students).
Over all both NER and GER at the HSS level
has increased as compared to last year by
about 3 and 10 percent respectively.

As could be seen from the above tables, girls


have overtaken boys in terms of right age
enrolment both in primary and secondary
education with the GPI at the primary level
of 1.02 and at secondary level of 1.1 in 2012
indicating that more girls participate in
education than boys in both primary and
secondary levels. However the GPI of 0.97 at
grades XI & XII reverses the gender situation
completely in favour of boys, indicating that
significantly fewer girls transition to the Higher
Secondary level than boys.

Figure 3.5 shows the distribution of enrolment among the streams offered by public and private
schools. Only a few private schools offer Science. The majority of the students in government
schools opt for Science. The main reason for the increase in Science enrolment this year could be
attributed to the increase in number of Science seats in government schools. Commerce appears
to be the most popular stream among the private school students.

4.2 Tertiary education


All publicly financed tertiary education in Bhutan is under the umbrella of the Royal University
of Bhutan. At the moment 10 different institutes and one private Tertiary Institute constitute the
Royal University of Bhutan. Girls enrolment is seen to be less than boys in the RUB, with female
male ratio of 2:3. While the majority of the students under RUB (with the exception of RTC) are
funded by the RGoB, about 16% are self financed.

Tertiary students Abroad

Every year, the RGoB provides scholarships for class XII graduates to study various professions
abroad. These slots are limited and merit based. Several other funding agencies like the
Government of India also provide undergraduate scholarships. Table 4.3 gives the number of
undergraduate students with scholarships abroad.
A significant number of students also study abroad through private funding. Table 4.4 gives
the students studying privately in India and in other countries. The private student numbers
are based upon the membership figures of the Bhutanese Student Associations in the different
towns and countries.

The number of girls receiving scholarships and those under private funding is much lower than the
number of boys. i.e. only 38 and 47 percent respectively. It remains a challenge to improve the

a powerful instrument for empowerment
and improvements in quality of life.
It remains an essential condition for
sustainable socio-economic development
and a critical tool to eradicate poverty,
enhance
employment
opportunities,
advance gender equality, improve family
health, conserve the environment and
promote democratic participation. In
particular, there is a close and deep
interrelationship between illiteracy and
poverty at the global, national, and local
levels with countries and communities with
the lowest levels of literacy doing poorly.
Poverty breeds illiteracy and vice versa in
a vicious cycle that is often hard to break.
Hence tackling poverty as a prime objective
and theme of the 10th FYP will also
depend on how effectively the high rates
of adult illiteracy are tackled in Bhutan, and
particularly in the rural areas. The Bhutan
Living Standards Survey (2007) reported
national literacy rates at 55.5% .

nevertheless indicates a low level of literacy


by both international and regional standards.
It is thus a key area for improvement to scale
up Bhutans progress towards achieving its
human development goals and attaining the
MDGs.
With the objective of enhancing adult
literacy, the Non Formal Education (NFE)
programme was introduced in 1992 initially
as a joint effort between the Dzongkha
Development Authority (DDA) and the
National Womens Association of Bhutan
(NWAB). The Ministry of Education formally
took over the NFE programme in 1994,
now called the Non-Formal and Continuing
Education Division (NFCED).
The Non Formal Education Programme has
gained widespread popularity as an effective
programme for providing basic literacy
and functional skills amongst the adult
population, and particularly in rural areas.
The programme has expanded from 365
centres with 428 instructors in 2003 to 953
centres with 949 instructors in 2012. Over
the same period, the number of learners
increased from 12,838 to 13,360.

While national baseline data on literacy


still needs to be developed, the BLSS 2007

5.2. Continuing Education


In order to institute a system of continuous learning and to provide school leavers with an opportunity
to upgrade their academic qualifications, the Continuing Education (CE) programme was initiated in
Kelki Private HSS, in Thimphu in 2006.
Started as a pilot, the Continuing Education Programme which offers 2 year courses for completion of
classes X and XII has been expanded to 15 Dzongkhags in both public and private HSS. A total of 1670
learners are currently enrolled in this programme. Since most of the participants are in-service people,
the classes are conducted in the evenings and on the weekends, so that the employed can study
without having to give up their jobs. While there is a subsidised annual fee, text books are provided
free by the government. This program has greatly benefitted those who need to be employed and
yet wish to upgrade their level of education. The following table shows the enrolment in the CE
programme as of March 2012.

MONASTIC
EDUCATION

6.1. Monastic Education


Buddhism arrived in Bhutan in the 8th century
and has since then played a vital role in shaping
the social, political, economic and cultural
evolution of the country. Until the modest
beginning of modern education in the 1950s
the only education available in Bhutan was in
monastic schools.
There are two types of monastic schools, the
government supported ones that come under
the Je Khenpo and private monastic schools that
are established and managed by other religious
leaders. Shedras, the monastic colleges teach
Buddhist studies and philosophy, astrology,
language [Choekay, Dzongkha and Sanskrit],
religious practice, etc. and award certificates
that are equivalent to Bachelors and Masters.
Completion of studies in Shedras generally
takes up to nine years. Graduates of Shedras
are able to serve as national language teachers
in schools and increasingly find employment in
the government.
Other religious institutes teach monks in
reading and writing, religious practices,
meditation, etc. so that they are able to fulfill
the religious requirements and functions of
the society. The religious institutes under the
government receive annual budgets from the

government whereas the private ones depend


on donations from the supporters of individual
Lamas. Education is provided free in monastic
schools1.
Private monastic schools supported by
prominent religious leaders and organizations
also provide education in ecclesiastical affairs.
These religious institutes also provide free
education.
Table 6.1 gives an overview of the monastic
novices. The Monastic body has reported
that there are 7,240 monastic novices in 388
monastic schools and 3 nunneries over Bhutan.
This enrolment is significantly lower than the
one reported for 2006, which was 9287.
Information on monasteries not administered
by the central monastic body is not available in
detail. The central monastic body has reported
that in 2004, there were 5,149 learners enrolled
in these monasteries. It is obvious that more
boys than girls are enrolled in these schools.

SPECIAL
EDUCATION

7.1. Special Education


The long-term objective of the Special
Education Services Programme is to provide
access for all children with disabilities and
special needs, including those with physical,
mental and other types of impairment, to
general education in regular schools. The
Royal Government thus seeks to maintain an
inclusive approach to improve educational
access to and meet the special needs of
those with physical disabilities and learning
impediments.
In the Ninth Plan, a Special Education Unit was
established within the Department of School
Education and a draft Special Education Policy
and Guidelines were formulated. The existing
National Institute for the Visually Impaired was
partially rebuilt and expanded to accommodate
additional students with impaired vision.
In Thimphu, a new resource center to help
children with special needs (mental and physical
impairments) was established at Changangkha
Lower Secondary School (LSS). To cater to
the education of hearing impaired children,
Bhutanese sign language was developed and
a deaf education center established at the
Drugyal LSS in Paro.
The objective of this programme during the
Tenth Plan is to provide enhanced special

Annual Education Statistics

education services to the children with a


wide range of disabilities including learning
difficulties by providing support facilities in
selected schools across the country.
The Tenth Plan will support the development
of additional physical facilities in the National
Institute for Visually Impaired (NIVI), Khaling
and the Deaf Education Center in Drugyel to
cope with the increasing enrolment pressure for
special education services. Further, five more
special education centres were established on
the Changangkha model to allow children with
special needs to access general education in
regular schools. To develop national capacity
and expertise, the plan will support training
on special needs education. Teaching-learning
materials will also be provided to strengthen
the special education services in the existing
and new centers.
In addition to Drugyel LSS in Paro and the
Changangkha MSS in Thimphu, 6
other
schools also cater to special needs education.
These schools contribute towards the RGoBs
objective to make schools as inclusive as
possible and integrate special education into
mainstream education. There are about 343
students and 177 teachers in these 8 special
education schools as of March 2012.

Despite a slow increase over the last few years, the enrolment in the NIVI has decreased this
year, especially compared to the spectacular enrolment increase in regular education. One of
the challenges for the education sector is to ensure that all children with special needs receive a
suitable education so they can become full members of society.

enrolment at the secondary level. Even at
the higher secondary level, the enrolment
of girls has been increasing steadily over
the years. Fig. 8.1 below shows the steady
increase in participation of girls in secondary
education.

Bhutan
has
witnessed
impressive
achievements in terms of girls participation
rates with an NPER of 96% for girls as
compared to 95% for boys with a girl/boy ratio
of 100 girls for every 100 boys. The national
survival rate for girls in primary school stands
at 99.2% exceeding that of boys at 96.2%.

The enrolment in private Secondary Schools


grades VII to XII - has increased to 10% of
total enrolment, compared to 8% in 2006.
Girls enrolment in private higher secondary
schools has increased to 49.6% (see Table
8.1 below), an increase of about 7.4 % since
2006.

With the exception of the higher secondary


level, girls enrolment as a percentage of
total school enrolment is about 50%, at every
level of general education. The percentage of
girls enrolment in Secondary education has
increased from 45% in 2002 to 50.1% in 2012
with an increase of 0.3% over last year. Girls
therefore make up more than half the total

Figure 8.1 Girls participation in Public Secondary Education

Though girls are doing well both at


the primary and secondary levels, girls
enrolment decreases drastically when they
reach Class XI. Table 8.2 show that girls
enrolment declines as they proceed to
higher classes and especially after class X.
The administrative data shows that about
89 girls for every 100 boys continue their
education in grades XI and XII. When we
compare the same figures for students of
the appropriate age for the level, i.e. 17 to
18 years of age- we see that there are 109
girls for every 100 boys enrolled in classes
XI and XII. This indicates that right age
participation level of girls is higher than of
boys.

separately for boys and girls. The higher
secondary GER for boys stands at 55%
-significantly higher than for girls at 51%,
while the NER for boys at 18% is much
lower than the 22% NER for girls. (see
Table III Education Indicators at a Glance).
This indicates that while the participation
levels of boys is higher than that of girls at
the higher secondary level, the right age
participation level of girls exceeds that of
boys. Further research to better understand
the underlying causes of this phenomenon
is essential to promote a better gender
balance at this level.

This is borne out when analyzing the

8.2 Girls participation in education by Dzongkhag


Table 8.3 gives a regional picture of girls participation in education under the different categories of
schools by Dzongkhag. Girls enrolment as a percentage of the total enrolment is a crude indicator,
since it does not take into account differences in overall population, especially in small population
groups where a 50-50 gender division is almost never present.

Annual Education Statistics

Page

47

On average, girls make up 50% of the enrolment in Bhutanese schools and in several Dzongkhags
it is above 50%. Since enrolment and population figures are so small, these are only indicative
figures. It is difficult to draw valid conclusions without knowing the actual population in the
Dzongkhags and regional categories.

In 2012 the relative percentage of girls
enrolment in class XI in Public Higher

in and ex-country enrolment of girls is still
much lower than that of boys.

Only 40% of the students studying in the RUB

up about 38% of the students that receive
scholarship to study in India and abroad,
showing an improvement of 11% since last year
and about 47% (4% increase since last year) of
the students studying outside Bhutan without
Royal Governments financial assistance.

8.4. Gender Parity Index


The Gender Parity Index (GPI) is a
socioeconomic index designed to measure
the relative access to education of males and
females. In its simplest form, it is calculated
as the quotient of the number of females
by the number of males enrolled in a given
stage of education (primary, secondary, etc.).
It is used by international organizations,
particularly in measuring the progress of
developing countries. The Institute for
Statistics of UNESCO also uses a more general
definition of GPI: for any development
indicator one can define the GPI relative to
this indicator by dividing its value for females
by its value for males.
If this index is between 0.97 and 1.03,
it is considered to be parity or equal
representation of both sexes. A GPI of
less than 1 indicates that there are fewer
females, in proportion to the appropriate
school-age population, than males in the
formal education system however, if it is
higher or lower, one of the two sexes is
underrepresented.

Page

50

Gender inequities continue to exist in society.


In many cultures and traditions, girl children
are discouraged from pursuing an education.
Not only do girls experience barriers to
accessing education, but girls attending school
face certain barriers to education that are not
shared by their male classmates.
In Bhutan, girls by and large dont
experience discrimination with regards to
access to education, as is commonly seen in
some parts of the world.
This year, the national GPI is 1.02. This indicates
that on the whole, the correct proportions of
females in relation to males are enrolled in the
education system there is no gender inequality
in the Bhutanese education system. Both boys
and girls have equal opportunities in terms of
access, quality of learning process, equality of
outcomes and external results.

The proportion of female teachers in the public Higher Secondary Schools is around 35%, a bit less
than the proportion of girls in these schools (46%). The teachers above also include 116 community

9.1.1 Proportion of Non-Bhutanese Teachers


From an almost total dependence on expatriate
teachers in the 1960s, the Bhutanese education
system has moved towards self-sufficiency.
However, dependence on expatriate teachers
continues at the secondary levels and private
schools recruit a comparatively large number
of ex-pat teachers. At present around 8% of the
total teaching force are expatriate teachers. A
comparison between 2002 and 2010 shows
a notable increase in the proportion and
absolute numbers of Bhutanese teachers over
the years.

Expatriate teachers constitute 8% of the


teaching force. Of these the majority teach at
the higher secondary and middle secondary
levels. Expatriate teachers make up 21
percent of the teachers in the public higher
secondary schools and 25 percent in the
private HSS.
Similarly, approximately 11 percent of the
lecturers in the institutes under the Royal
University of Bhutan are expatriates. Gaeddug
College of Business Studies has the highest
proportion with 30% followed by Sherubtse

9.2 Teacher education


9.2.1 Pre-service training
Pre-service teacher education is provided at the
Colleges of Education (CoE) in Samtse and Paro,
the former established in 1968 and the latter
in 1975. There are two pre-service programmes
offered, a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) and a
Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).
The four-year B.Ed. programme caters for
primary, secondary and Dzongkha teaching and
is provided in both the CoEs, whereas the one
year PGCE programme caters for secondary
teaching and is provided in the institute at
Samtse only.
Entry into the PGCE programme requires a 1st
degree, while the B.Ed programme requires
a class XII or equivalent certificate. Earlier,
the B.Ed degree included a one year field
attachment programme for the candidates as
apprentice teachers in selected schools at the
beginning of the programme. In 2008, 325
students were sent as apprentice teachers. From
2009 onwards the apprenticeship programme
at the beginning was discontinued and the
B.Ed students now undergo the apprenticeship
during the 3rd year of the programme.
The B.Ed programme, which used to be only
in English, has now been expanded to include
Dzongkha.

The enrolment in the 2 teacher colleges has


increased to about 1506 students which
constitutes a 34% increase since 2004. The
proportion of girls choosing to become
teachers continues to hover around 40%. This
maybe a reflection of the lower proportion
of girls enrolled in higher secondary schools.
The proportion of girls enrolled in the teacher
colleges has remained consistent over the last
eight years at about 38-40%. Considering the
overall enrolment in the RUB-colleges, the
proportion of girls studying in the teacher
colleges is higher than the average.

therefore the linchpin on which the success


of the education system in Bhutan hinges.
Teachers are regularly updated on new
developments in curriculum and other
educational issues through in-service
training and workshops organized at
national, Dzongkhag and school levels, as
well as through fellowships outside the
country. Every year about 30-40 in-service
workshops and trainings are conducted for
teachers, out of which more than 10 courses
offered are award bearing courses. About
496 teachers were awarded with various
masters, degree and diploma certificates in
2011. The details are as follows.

Although many factors combine to make a


successful school and therefore a successful
education system, the Ministry of Education
believes that a high quality teaching force is
the most basic element for success. This is
especially crucial when the success of a school
is defined by the ability of a school to raise
the achievement of its students. Teachers are

Since 2000, in-service teachers have had the


opportunity to upgrade their qualifications
to Bachelors of Education (B.Ed) in primary
education via a distance education programme.
In 2002, a Masters of Education programme was
also started at the Paro College of Education
using the same mode. Table 9.6 shows the
number of graduates so far.

Since 1995, the Ministry has provided


opportunities for in-service teachers to upgrade
their qualifications by sitting for the national
level examinations as private candidates. In
December 2012, 46 will avail this opportunity.

9.3 Academic profile of teachers


This programme is in great demand, especially
after a first degree became an official
requirement for advancing in ones career. The
Distance B.Ed is facilitated from Samtse College
of Education, and the Distance M.Ed from Paro
College of Education. Participating teachers are
offered classes during the winter break and
offered remote education during the academic
year. In that sense, both programmes are mixed
mode degrees rather than distance education.
Out of a total of 7932 teachers, 87% are trained
in the teaching profession. 55% of our teachers
have at least a Bachelors Degree. In addition,
about 9% of the teachers have a PG Diploma.
Less than 3% of the teachers have only a class
10 or 12 certificate as of current statistics.
There is a comparatively low percentage of the
teachers with a Masters and Ph.D Degree. 13
% of teachers were reported not to have been
trained in the teaching profession but have
been appointed based on need.

The student-teacher ratio (STR) measures
the number of students per teacher.
It reflects teacher workload and the
availability of teachers services to their
students. The lower the STR, the higher the
availability of teacher services to students.
The STR has implications not only for the

cost of education, but also for the quality.


The relationship between these two
measures of teacher workload is affected
by a variety of factors, including the
number of classes for which a teacher is
responsible and the number of classes
taken by students.

Nationwide, the STR is now at 22 students


per teacher (see table 8.1 above) on average.
The decrease in STR has been accompanied
by uneven progress among the different
categories of schools and Dzongkhags, with
a standard deviation of 3.51 and median of
21 at the Dzongkhag level. On average the

ratio has improved in all Dzongkhags. Also


averages of more than 50 for a certain type of
school in a Dzongkhag no longer occurs as was
the case in previous years. The figure below
shows the ratios by Dzongkhag.

Standard deviation is a measure of the


variability or dispersion within a dataset. A
low standard deviation indicates that the
data points tend to be very close to the mean
i.e. evenly or uniformly distributed, while a
high standard deviation indicates that the
data are spread out over a large range of
values ( data is not evenly distributed).
The STR in Trongsa is 16 (Lowest ratio apart
from Gasa,) while it is 30 (highest ratio) in

Though the national average student- teacher


ratio is low, it is accompanied by high standard
deviation of 12.3 indicating a a very high and
uneven distribution of teachers among the
schools and Dzongkhags with some having
very high STR and some very low STR.

Samtse, The variation is very high at the


school level. We focus on school rather
then Dzongkhag because the latter would
miss the potentially large differences among
schools within Dzongkhag in terms of teacher
distribution. The STR ranges from 2 to 61;
which means that some remote schools have
ratios as less as 2 while other have STR as
high as 61.
The tenth FYP envisages that all schools will
be staffed with a minimum STR of 1:24 and
that all schools have at least two teachers.
The following figure shows the STR by
dzongkhag who have achieved the target of
1:24.

As can be seen from the above figure most


dzongkhag have more or less achieved the
target of STR of 1:24 except for Chukha,
Punakha, Trongsa and Samdrupjongkhar. About
49% of schools have reported to have STR less
than 20 while only 6 schools reported STR of
less than 1:6
Table 10.2 gives the teacher-pupil ratio for
different school levels by location. It shows
that, on average, the highest ratios are found in
the remote and very remote schools. The table
includes private schools which are mainly in the
urban category. It is interesting to note that the
ratio in the PSs has dropped since last year.

It is interesting to also note that about over


41% of remote schools reported to have STR of
less than 20 against that of only 35% of urban
schools. About 74% of schools have reported
to have reached the target of STR 1:24 with
most of them located in the remote areas
mostly PSs.

Annual Education Statistics

Figure 10.3 Division of student-teacher ratio

About 50% of the schools have a STR


between 1 and 20. A significant number of
PSs also have a low ratio. This is because
PSs are usually established in smaller
communities, where multi-grade strategies
have to be adopted. If we exclude the PSs,
62 public schools have a STR of less than 20,
while more than 111 schools have a student
-teacher ratio of over 30.
Table 10.3 shows the number of schools
per Dzongkhag that have a STR lower than
or equal to 24 and schools that have a STR
higher than 24. In Gasa, Haa and Thimphu
Dzongkhag all schools have a Teacher: Pupil
ratio in line with the Royal Government
target, while Trongsa and Trashi yangtse are
almost nearing the target ratio. Trashigang
and Pemagatshel has the highest number
of schools that have reached the target.
Chukha and Samtse have comparatively high
number of school that still has to reach the
target ratio.

In March 2012, 13 PSs and 71 Extended


Classrooms reported they had only 1 teacher.
Of these, 1 PS and 32 Extended Classrooms
reported to have an enrolment of more than 25
students. The policy is to have a maximum of
25 students in a MG situation. Nine Extended
Classroomss each with 1 teacher and an
enrolment of more than 25 opened this year.

The figure below gives the changes in STR


over the years. It shows a steady decline in the
primary and lower secondary schools, with
the rate of decrease slowing down for the last
3 to 4 years. The ratio in the middle & higher
secondary schools has been stable over the
last few years.

10.2 Class size


In addition to the student-teacher ratio,
another proxy indicator that gives some insight
into the quality of education is the number of
students per class or student: section ratio.
Student-teacher ratio and class size are not
same. This assumes that every section in a
school is a different class. Table 10.5 shows
the class size per section per school. It shows
that in urban and semi-urban areas the classes
are crowded. It also shows that the classes in
the Lower Secondary, Middle Secondary and
Higher Secondary Schools are more crowded

than the Primary Schools. Primary schools


have on average the smallest class sizes,
however multi-grade teaching is adopted as a
strategy in these schools.
The differences between the regions
and school types are considerable. The
Dzongkhag with large class sizes last year
have all improved a bit, despite increases
in enrolment. The average class size in all
schools is 26 or less. The average class size for
Bhutan has reduced to 22 indicating that the
school system has been able to accommodate
the increasing enrolment.

One of the targets in Tenth Plan is that


all schools maintain a class size of 3036 students in regular schools and 20
students in smaller schools with multi-grade
teaching. Currently about 53% of schools
have achieved the target of maintaining
class sizes at 30-36 students. The remaining
47% of schools have average class sizes
exceeding or below the target, indicating
either over-crowded classrooms or wastage.
About 15% of schools have class sizes of less
than 20 while more than 10% of schools

Annual Education Statistics

have class size above 60s. Most PSs have


class size of less than 20.
But, as school improvement ideas go,
reducing class sizes is costlier than others
and usually more complicated than it
appears.
Table 10.6 shows by Dzongkhag how many
schools have average class sizes smaller
than, equal to or larger than 30 students per
class.

EXAMINATION
RESULTS AND
EFFICIENCY
INDICATORS
11.1 Efficiency indicators
11.1.1. Promotees, Repeaters and Drop-outs
The efficiency of the Education System can
be monitored by efficiency indicators such
as repetition rate, dropout rate, promotion
rate and survival rate at various levels of
education.
The Net and Gross enrolment (NER and GER)
and intake ratios (AIR) indicate access to
education. The efficiency indicators and the
access indicators together give quantitative
information on the quality of the system. If
children come to school, remain in school
and do not repeat too much, it gives an
indication of the accessibility and the
efficiency of the system.
However, as we near universal primary
education, it is imperative to devise
innovative programmes and create facilities
to enroll the population group that are not
so visible at present. Currently, the Ministry
of Education has adopted Extended
Classroomss (ECRs) to reach the unreached
and fast track promotion of over-aged
children to reduce classroom congestion
and discourage dropouts to some extent.
Similarly, the Dzongkhag Administrations

Annual Education Statistics

have also designed their own strategies and


programme to track out-of- school children
and enroll them in schools to achieve 100
percent Net Enrolment Ratio by 2013.
Such initiatives have contributed in reduction
of dropout and repetition rates over the
past few years. It is essential to eliminate
drop out or reduce the dropout rate to 0%
at the Primary Education level in order to
achieve the goal of 100% NER. Moreover it
is also essential to ensure that every citizen
of Bhutan completes at least the primary
education cycle to ensure literacy and
numeracy. It is estimated that within the 9th
FYP period, around 10,000 children have left
the education system illiterate.
The figures below shows that repetition and
dropout rates have gone down considerably
since 2002 by about 13 and 5 percent with
an annual decrease of about 7 and 3 percent
respectively.

Though the reduction in the average


dropout and repetition rates seem to be
progressing toward the Ministrys Tenth Plan
commitment, in specific grades both these
efficiency indicators remain undesirably high.
As can be seen in the above figure, the
repetition and dropout rates are very high
in class IV and VII, and these have also been
observed in previous annual education
statistics reports. While studies to understand
this spike in repetition and dropout in these
two grades have not been conducted, we
know that schools terminate at grade III
(17PS & 24 ECRs) and grade VI (336 PS), thus

requiring many children to walk longer distances


the following year to their new schools or to
live separately from their families for the first
time for many - in boarding schools to continue
their education. Moreover additional subjects
are introduced in grades IV and VII. These two
reasons amongst others may be responsible
for the spike in repetition and dropout rates
in these two grades. The drop-out rate in class
IX has also increased. It is quite surprising to
see that there is no dropout in class PP, I, III
and VI, while this may be a statistical error; it is
quite impressive to see 100% retention in these
levels. The total number of drop-outs is lower
than last year.

11.1.2. Fast Track Promotion of Over-aged Students


The Royal Government has initiated a
provision of fast tracking or promoting of
students in order to enable students who
are over aged and who have better learning
abilities beyond their cohorts to advance to
higher levels on merit basis. This is expected
to induce healthy competition around
the year and also provide much needed
confidence to learners who are competitive
and also cater to the needs of the fast
learners.
It is worth mentioning here that such
initiatives have been one of the factors
contributing to the reduction of overage and
under aged children enrolling in school.

We have seen a reduction from 60% of


overage children in PP-III in 2009 to 48% in
2012. There is also a decrease of 4 percentage
points with regard to primary underage
students as compared to last year (from 12%
to 8% in 2012)
The proportion of right aged enrolment has
also increased compared to last year from
79% to 81% this year and a decrease of about
1% of underage proportion as compared to
last year, whether this would be the trend or
not can be seen next year.

enrolment by age

11.2. Completion rates


The completion rate for primary and basic
education indicate how many children
actually complete education. This indicator,
which monitors education system coverage
and student progression, is intended to
measure human capital formation and school
system quality and efficiency.

The Gross Intake Ratio for the last grade


of the education cycle is used. Figure 11.5
gives the completion rates for 2006 to 2012
for primary and basic education. Compared
to last year, the completion rate has gone
up significantly at both the primary as well
as basic level with an increase of 14 and 2
percentage point respectively.

Figure 11.5 Primary and Basic completion rates since 2006

The current statistics shows that almost 100%


of children complete primary education. i.e.
almost all the children who enter school
complete primary education, and about 3

Annual Education Statistics

out of every 4 complete basic education (PP-X).


There are no gender gaps, with both boys and
girls having equal probability of completing the

The Net Primary Enrolment Ratio (NPER) has


increased rapidly within a very short period,
from 53% in 1998 to 95.7 % in 2012 (excluding children studying abroad and enrolled in
monasteries). In addition to the Royal Governments commitment to education, the rapid
improvement in NER can also be attributed to
increased private participation, as seen by the
fact that private school enrolment makes up 3
percent of the total primary enrolment.

The survival rate to grade V and grade X has


improved between 2006 and 2012. For all
children, the survival rate grew from 91% and
71.9% to 100% and 95% percent respectively.
Compared to boys, girls have more probability of advancing to the fifth and tenth grade.
Generally there are more females participating at Primary to Middle Secondary level than
males, this pattern shifts at the Higher Secondary level where there are more males than
female learners.

11.4. Internal efficiency measures


The coefficient of internal efficiency for
basic education reveals the efficiency of the
Bhutanese education system. The coefficient
has increased by about 17% since 2004, and
about 4% since last year, displaying an increased
internal efficiency.
The survival rate to the last grade of primary
school is an official indicator to track progress
toward the second UN Millennium Development
Goal (MDG), which calls for universal primary
education by the year 2015. The survival rate
to the last grade is the percentage of a cohort
of students who enter the first grade of primary
education and who are expected to reach the
last grade, regardless of repetition.
Table 11.1 compares the indicator survivors to
the grade for the last seven years. Since 2005
gender disaggregated data is available. Similar
to the previous years, the girls seem to be
performing very well as compared to boys in
terms of survival. On average 2005 was a weak
Annual Education Statistics

year, and it is fair to say that for the last 7 years, 63 to 80% of all the children starting PP will
eventually graduate. The survival incidence for girls is much higher than boys, which means that
more female students who enter PP are likely to reach the last grade as compared to boys. Some
more years of gender disaggregated data is required to analyze the gender differences. Since
Bhutan has a small education system individual incidences have a great impact, while quite often
they may not be indicators of a trend.

From the above table, we could derive that


almost 98% of children enrolled in grade PP
reach the last grade of Primary, about 14%
jump since 2005. This shows the positive
impact of the primary education system in
Bhutan. There are no major gender disparities
between boys and girls, with girls sometimes
doing better than boys in terms of enrolment.
In fact girls have been doing much better then
boys for the past 7 years. Although there is

room to improve the data quality for this


indicator, the general trend in the last
seven years is that more children who start
primary are reaching grade 7 (Class VI).
The recent statistics show a significant
increase in the number of students
completing basic education, 85% (850 of
every 1,000 student who enroll in grade PP)
graduate.

11.5 examination results


11.5.1 Class X Examinations
The national level examinations at the end
of Primary Education were instituted in 1972
with the aim of ensuring uniformity in the
standard of education among the different
schools across the country. It was also used
as a criterion for screening the candidates
for entry into the next level of general
education. With the upgrading of the basic
education level to class X, this examination
no longer serves as a screening mechanism
but provides feedback to the Ministry on
the quality and standard of education in the
different schools across the country.

For many students the class X examinations


marks the end of their general education
careers. Non-successful students reappear the examinations as supplementary
candidates and do not attend regular
classes in government schools due to lack
of space and over-crowding. However, these
conditions may not apply to cases where
students were sick or have valid reasons
for not appearing the examinations. Figure
11. 7 below reflect the results of regular
candidates since 2000.

Figure 11.7 Class X passed trend since 2000

The annual increase in the number of


students appearing for exams has been
very steady. Given the increased enrolment
in primary and secondary education, the
annual number of Class X graduates is likely

Annual Education Statistics

to keep increasing. A total of 10,190


candidates sat for the Bhutan Certificate
of Secondary Education Examination
(BCSE) in December 2011. The overall
pass percentage was 97%, which is about

3% increase from 2008. A total of about


7,332 students have been admitted in class
XI in Bhutan this year. i.e about 71%, of
which 40% are enrolled in public schools
and 31% in private schools. The remaining
29% might be either continuing their
education in private schools within Bhutan
and schools outside Bhutan, or enrolled in
the VTIs or joined the labour force.
Figure 11.8 gives a more detailed overview
of what happens with the class X students of
2011 in 2012.

11.5.2 Class XII Examinations

The number of students appearing for the class


XII examinations has increased substantially
compared to last year. This might be due
to increase in Private and Supplementary
candidates. The pass percentage however
has been showing a decrease over the last
few years, as you could see from the above
figure. One reason cited is the introduction of
the new curriculum in English and Business
Mathematics. However, this is just an
assumption, and a comprehensive study is
needed to validate these assumptions.

SCHOOL
FEEDING

12.1. School feeding Programme


The policy of the Ministry of Education is
to provide primary schooling within easy
walking distance, in order to allow children
to attend school near their homes. However,
given the mountainous terrain, the dispersed
settlement patterns of the population and
resource constraints, some children have to
enroll in primary schools more distant from
their homes as day scholars, or as boarders.
At the secondary levels, due to economy of
scale issues, many children have to study as
boarders in schools which are distant from
their homes.
This is made possible, largely due to the
provision of meals through the school
feeding program which is supported by the
World Food Programme (WFP) and the Royal
Government. Approximately 33,000 students
or 24% of students in classes PP-VIII receive
two meals a day from the WFP. Out of these,
10% or 13,686 students are boarding students

Annual Education Statistics

and therefore also receive a stipend of Nu


240 per month per student from the RGoB
to cover the third meal.
In classes IX -XII, there are 13,491 boarding
students (or 35% of total students)
supported with a stipend of Nu 700 by the
RGoB for all three meals. As of July 2012,
the stipend will be increased to Nu 1000 per
month per student for three meals.
All together, there are about 46,401 (26%
of all students) students who benefit from
the school feeding programme from classes
PP-XII. The success of the Education System
in rapidly increasing school enrolment over
a short period of time can be attributed
to the provision of free food and boarding
facilities provided based on need.

FACILITIES

13.1 Water FACILITIES in Schools

To provide quality education it is


important that facilities in the school
are adequate and up to date. In this
chapter the status of some of these
facilities viz. water provision, electricity,
telephone connection, laboratories,
computers and classrooms, as reported
by the schools is reflected.

Based on the reports from the schools with


regard to the sufficiency of water supply, an
analysis has been made of the on the water
facillities in our schools as shown below in
table 13.1.

these boarding schools had no tap stands for
their students.
When analyzing the water supply situation

for day schools without tap stands, it was


found that around half of them have a source
or stream, especially the remote schools.
Most of the water problems in schools are
to do with their source.

13.2 Provision of classrooms, laboratories and computers in schools

The number of classrooms available in a


school is another facility that influences
the quality of education. Some schools face
shortage of classrooms and have to operate
shift systems.
Figure 13.1 shows the availability of
classrooms. Collecting information on
classrooms was more difficult as there are
many types of classrooms (temporary, semipermanent, permanent) and opinions on
the category and utility of classrooms differ

based on context and level. Therefore, the


information reported here may not be 100
percent accurate.
Analysis of the information, as in figure 13.1,
indicates that most of the schools that gave
information have enough classrooms. Only
15% of schools reported to have more than
40 students per class.

is required with regard to data-collection. It
is unclear regarding the usage of existing
classrooms in the absence of dedicated
laboratories.

From the above we can see that 39 higher


secondary schools have fully equipped
science laboratories as well as computer
laboratories. Additionally 7 HSS also have
an additional general science laboratory.
Two Middle secondary schools do not have
a laboratory at all as they have only recently

been upgraded. The same is true for the lower


secondary schools. Due to admission pressure
so many schools were upgraded before
putting in adequate facilities. This is one of
the main challenges for the 10th FYP.

13.2.2. Computers in schools


Information and Communication Technology
Education (ICT) and ICT in Education has been
introduced in schools at all levels with the aim
to build the capacity of Bhutans educational
system to deploy Information Technology
for independent learning and life-long
learning skills. In view of this, ICT in schools
is to be used as a pedagogical tool to create
a stimulating and empowering classroom
learning experience. The ultimate aim is to
ensure the pervasive and effective use of IT
in Education. One of the goals of the 10th

FYP is to equip all Higher and most Middle


Secondary Schools with computers.
IT literacy is also an invaluable asset to
students for their future careers and
Computer Science and Computer Applications
courses in secondary level of education are
offered, IT teachers continue to be trained,
and schools are provided with computer
laboratories and computer laboratory
assistants, along with both hardware and
software for IT education. Table 13.4 shows
the current status of this programme.

that have computers, have just a few and


these are probably used by the office staff.
Quite a number of Primary Schools have
computers (including 54 OLPC Laptop), given
the fact that a lot of them are in remote
places, and some do not have access to
electricity.

13.3 Electricity, telephone and internet connectivity


The priority after the provision of basic
facilities like water and classrooms is
to ensure that schools have access to
electricity, a working telephone-line and a
working internet connection. This paragraph
describes the current situation with regard
to these facilities.
For the schools at level VII and higher being
connected is very important and computers
and laboratories need electricity.

Almost over 65% of the public PSs have


electricity. While it is not clear whether the
question of access to electricity may have
been interpreted as including access to solar
power, the data shows that a lot of areas in

Telephone access is another important facility


which is necessary for ensuring communication
between parents and the school, between
the school and the Dzongkhag and central
administration etc. This can also benefit the
larger community in case of remote schools.

Bhutan are not yet electrified. As of recent


statistics it is reported that almost about 75%
of schools in Bhutan are electrified, i.e. 7 %
increase since last year. While 25% of schools
are still not connected to electricity which
includes remote, very remote and difficult
schools. Almost all the HSS and MSS are
reported to have the electricity connection as
of March 2012.

78% of the public schools in Bhutan report


that they have a working landline phone. Even
in the more remote areas around 68% of the
schools can be contacted through telephone.
Almost all the Middle Secondary and Higher
Secondary School have the telephone
connection.
Internet facilities are now increasingly being
introduced in our schools. Most schools with
internet are connected via dial-up. However,
this is not adequate for schools and a few
Middle and Higher Secondary Schools are now
moving from dial-up to lease-lines.
Further IT facilities in schools are being
enhanced with training of IT laboratory
assistants in setting up and maintenance of
Local Area Networks (LAN).

From the above table we could see that


88% of private schools are connected to
the internet while only 36% of the public
schools have that access, an improvement
of about 5% since last year. However 97%
of Public HSS have access to internet while
only 32% of PS have access.

13.4 Road accessibility


Accessibility by road is another very
important indicator. While it has less to do
with the quality of education, it enables
supply of goods and materials and facilitates
the movement of teachers and students.
About 65% of our schools have access to
road.
Road access per Dzongkhag is reflected in
table 13.8; Apart from Thim Throm, about
90% of schools in Bumthang have road
access, followed by Punakha and Paro with
84 and 83 percent respectively. Schools
in Zhemgang show low road connectivity
followed by P/Gatshel, Samdrupjongkhar,
Gasa, Lhuentse and Mongar with only 4055% of schools connected to road.

BUDGET
AND
EXPENDITURES
ON EDUCATION
14.1

Free services and sharing of costs

The Bhutanese education system is built


upon the concept of free services from
primary to tertiary level. Students are not
only given free tuition but also provided with
many facilities viz. stationary, textbooks,
sports-items and boarding facilities and food
based on need. The policy trend during the

last few years is, however, to work towards


cost-sharing with parents, especially
amongst those populations that are in a
position to do so. Accordingly students
studying in the urban areas have had to
buy their own stationeries since 1993.

In general, all students are required to contribute to a School Development Fund at the following
rates:


Primary Schools
Lower Secondary Schools
Middle and Higher Secondary Schools

14.2

Annual budget

The Government stands committed in its


conviction that improving education will enhance prospects to further socio-economic
development. Accordingly, the sector has
always received a high share of the total allocation. In the 10th FYP too, it received the
highest individual sector share amounting
to 17% of the total outlay2.
Among many programmes, the MoE has
embarked upon a programme to improve
the quality of education in line with the
project Accelerating Bhutans Socio-ecoPage

nomic Development (ABSD). Some of the


areas of improvement include the development of curriculum, competency-based
testing, in-service education of teachers,
development of education qualification
framework for all awards/ programmes,
school assessment and performance systems
training to DEOs and ADEOs and training
of School Principals. For these initiatives, a
budget provision of Nu. 11.700 m was provided in FY 2011-12.
Further, the Curriculum Division in the Ministry has been upgraded to the Department

Annual Education Statistics

of Curriculum Research and Development for


which Nu. 39.391m was budgeted.
Further, in order to ensure the quality of education, and assure independent assessment of
the education system, the examinations board,
formerly called the Bhutan Board of Examinations was renamed the Bhutan Council for
School Examination and Assessment (BCSEA),
and delinked from the Ministry of Education. A
budget of Nu. 66.670 m was provided in the FY
2011-12 for the BCSEA.
The Royal Government provides numerous
scholarships for Bhutanese students to pursue
higher education outside Bhutan. This is a
major programme of the Ministry and in the FY
2011-12, a total of Nu. 284.134 m was allocated.The education sector budget also included a
provision of Nu. 82.429 m for the Royal Education Council to carry out the on-going projects
for improving the quality of education.
A budget of Nu. 43.950 m was kept for the
Royal Institute of Management for the construction of conference block, IT library,
renovation of auditorium and procurement
of teaching aid. Nu. 21.531 m was kept for
Dzongkha Development Commission for activities geared towards Zhungkha education. The
education sectors budget also includes Nu
1,333.485 m for the Royal University of Bhutan
(RUB). The RUB has been made autonomous
and the system of its operational expenses was
based on a per student fee-system.
On the whole, a total budget of Nu. 6,957.711
m including Nu. 3,917.094 m for recurrent
expenditure was allocated for the education
sector for FY 2011-12.

The Ministry is headed by a Minister. The Minister is supported by the Ministry Secretariat, headed
by a Secretary. The Secretariat comprises of the following divisions
a)

Administrative and Finance Division (AFD)

b)

Human Resource Division (HRD)

c)

There had been changes in the structure of the Ministry as a result of the creation of a new
department and Divisions and expansion of existing divisions. This has been done to enable the
Ministry to respond effectively to the demands and challenges arising from the ever growing
education system. The Ministry now comprises of four Departments namely the Department of
School Education, Department of Youth and Sports, Department of Adult and Higher Education
and Department of Curriculum Research and Development (formerly known as CAPSD).
Furthermore, the Bhutan Board of Examinations has been reconstituted as the Bhutan Council for
School Examinations and Assessment (BCSEA) and delinked from the Ministry to function as an
autonomous agency.
The Department of School Education is organized into six Divisions. The Divisions are the School
Liaison and Coordination Division(SLCD), the School Agriculture, Feeding and Environment (SAFED),
the Education Monitoring & Support Service Division (EMSSD), the School Planning and Building
Division (SPBD), the Private School Division (PSD) and the Early Childhood Care and Development
and Special Educational Needs Division (ECCD&SEN).
The Department of Adult and Higher Education is organized into the Scholarship and Student
Support Division (SSSD), the Non Formal and Continuing Education Division (NFCED), Higher
Education and Planning Division (HEPD) and Quality Assurance and Accreditation Division (QAAD).
This department is also responsible for liaising with the Royal University of Bhutan.
The Department of Youth and Sports is organized into the Career Education and Counseling
Division (CECD), Games and Sports Division (GSD), Scouts and Culture Education Division (SCED)
and Comprehensive School Health Division (CSHD) and Youth Centre Division. The Games and
Sports Division also works closely with the National Sports Federations. The Youth Centre Division
(YCD) is further supported by the Youth Information Centres (YIC) for delivering youth related
information and services.
The next page shows the organizational structure of the ministry.
