I. Basic SituationI. Basic Situation A. Structure of the SectorA. Structure of the Sector CHAPTER 11 EDUCATIONEDUCATION 11.1 Education has been an important part of religious life in Bhutan for centuries and continues to be so today with approximately 4,000 monks, nuns and lay priests receiving education in religious institutions, supported by the state, throughout the country. This figure does not include those studying in private monasteries. Monastic education involves the study of religious rituals as well as other skills, including literacy, numeracy, philosophy, astrology, literature, arts and in some cases traditional medicine. 11.2 Formal western education was started only in the 1950s. Bhutan has achieved considerable success in expanding the provision of formal education: school enrolment grew from 1,500 pupils in 59 schools in 1959 to an enrolment of over 70,000 in 195 institutions in 1990. The gross primary enrolment ratio was estimated at 66.9% in 1990, based on an estimated population of 104,000 children between the ages 6 and 12. Despite these impressive results the Royal Government is committed to further improvements in the provision of education and following the Jomtein Conference, Bhutan has pronounced its determination to achieve access to primary education by the year 2000. While formal education of children has been expanding, the illiteracy rate amongst the adult population remains high. The Royal Government is thus also committed to increasing the basic education of the adult population, to enable the increased participation of the whole population in the development process. 11.3 The formal education system consists of one year pre-primary, six years primary, four years secondary, two years senior secondary and three years degree programme. 1
