- Teacher Education for Bhutan: The National Institute for Education as an Institution-Building Effort. Draft. Paulston, R. G. And Others Developing Nations Educational Needs Foreign Countries Higher Education Program Evaluation Teacher Education Curriculum Teacher Education Programs A mid-term evaluation of a five-year UNESCO project to establish a three-year Bachelor of Education degree, a one-year Bachelor of Teaching degree for students with degrees in other fields, and expand the number of secondary school teachers in Bhutan is described. The one-year program could not be evaluated because the first students will not graduate until 1986. Difficulties were encountered in keeping the training period to the three years desired by the government for the Bachelor of Education degree. There were also problems finding students who met the academic standards originally set by the project. Problems were also encountered in furnishing classrooms, the library, and laboratories, and in providing instructional materials. Recommendations were made for expediting the completion of facilities, providing administration after the UNESCO staff leaves, hiring teachers for the mathematics program, providing staff fellowships, and planning for outreach work in schools. High priorities include reorientation and reorganization of the Bachelor of Education degree toward inquiry-oriented and activity-based instruction, development of inservice education for teachers, and development of audiovisual workshops.
