ICT IN EDUCATION

Bhutan

Here you will find links to most of the country specific information provided by this site regarding Bhutan. We especially recommend the Meta survey, which gives comprehensive information about ICT use in education. You may also want to do a search by clicking on "ICT search" in the sidebar, or a search in one of our databases. Note that most of the projects have a regional impact and therefore are not necessarily listed here.
