The Second Education Project will assist Bhutan in building and strengthening physical and institutional capacity to provide a higher quality basic education to more children, particularly from rural areas. The project's objectives are 1) to increase the number of graduates from basic education and provide enough entrants to existing training programs to fill labor demands; 2) to raise levels of learning; and 3) to strengthen the quality of management within the education sector. The project has four components. 1) Increasing and upgrading facilities for basic education by constructing new schools, substantially upgrading existing schools, and supporting decentralized construction; 2) expanding and improving teacher education; revising curriculum; and supporting central, district, and school-based in-service teacher-training programs; 3) improving learning processes by curriculum development, examining learning processes, revising existing examinations and introducing standardized tests, and developing resource centers, school networks, and the supplementary reading program; and 4) strengthening educational management and administration by further strengthening the professional skills of central staff and developing the capacity to introduce a decentralized school monitoring and supervisory system; strengthening district educational administration; and strengthening school level management through networks and headteacher training.
