Challenges and instruments for admission into tertiary education system in Bhutan

Abstract

Bhutan's tertiary education system has grown significantly in a short period of time. Despite unprecedented growth and development, tertiary education in Bhutan continues to face challenges such as an inefficient transition from secondary to tertiary education due to a lack of multi-career pathways to absorb the growing population of high school graduates; quality of education and alignment of student knowledge, skills, and competencies with the world of work; and access to tertiary education through multiple admission processes. This study presents comprehensive reviews on the subject matter including the best practices of the tertiary education system in the Netherland and Singapore.
