In addition to overseeing teaching and learning standards, the sector works to improve school infrastructure, provide teacher support and professional development, and implement national education policies that align with Bhutan’s vision of nurturing knowledgeable, responsible, and compassionate citizens. Beyond formal education, the Education Sector promotes lifelong learning and literacy among adults through non-formal education programs, helping strengthen communities and empower individuals. It also collaborates with parents, local leaders, and other sectors to address issues like student well-being, health, and nutrition, recognizing that education is deeply connected to broader social and developmental goals. Through these efforts, the Education Sector plays a central role in shaping the future of Thimphu Dzongkhag, contributing to the country’s commitment to Gross National Happiness by nurturing young people who are both academically capable and grounded in Bhutanese values and culture.
