Bhutanese Government Takes Action to Address Alarming Attrition Rates in Health and Education Sectors

In a growing concern over escalating attrition rates in Bhutan's health and education sectors, skilled professionals departing for foreign countries have raised worries about the effectiveness and quality of services within these critical sectors. Prime Minister, Dasho Dr Lotay Tshering, acknowledged that attrition is a challenge faced by all government sectors, but identified the education sector as being particularly affected due to its larger workforce.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Prime Minister declared that the education sector is now a top priority for the government. With approximately 600-700 teaching vacancies, the shortage of qualified educators is severely impacting the quality of education provided. In response, the government has devised a multifaceted strategy to tackle this pressing issue.

Firstly, an immediate measure will be the recruitment of more teachers on a contract basis. This approach aims to swiftly address the attrition gaps and provide much-needed stability to the education sector. The government plans to expedite the hiring process to ensure a timely response to the shortage of teaching positions.

Secondly, the government is focusing on increasing the intake of regular civil service teachers. By encouraging more individuals to pursue careers in education, the aim is to establish a sustainable pipeline of qualified professionals. This initiative will provide a long-term solution to the attrition problem, ensuring a stable workforce in the education sector.

Furthermore, the government is committed to providing comprehensive support to teachers
