Education and Development Linkages in South Asia (V)
- October 29, 2021
Bhutan is one case where a desirable equilibrium or mutually beneficial interlinkages between education and development could be achieved. This is despite the fact that modern education started in a major way only about 50 years ago. The internal factors (the absence of caste segregation, and the fact that gender norms did not work against the school education of girls, etc.,) facilitated this process. There are challenges but these are there in any society and one can hope that the mutually strengthening interlinkages between education and development would enable the country to address these challenges.
