Role of Education Policies in Bhutan and its Impact on the Economy
Journal Title: Thammasat Review of Economic and Social Policy - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Education has had a tremendous impact on economic development both in general and in helping to transform the lives of individuals. There is no doubt that education is a core element of any sector development. However, education is also criticized for creating unemployment and increasing rural-urban migration which created more pressure on employment. Therefore, to have a successful economic transformation, education policies and curriculum should be adopted to match the changing needs of society. This paper portrays the role of education policies in Bhutan and its impact on the economy in stylized facts.
