The Bhutan Education and Skills Training (BEST) project, funded by the Government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada, aims to transform Bhutan’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system.
Aligned with the project goal, BEST partners organized an International Women's Day forum focused on creating an inclusive and accessible TVET system for all, especially women, persons with disabilities, and vulnerable populations. On March 12, 2024, the Bhutan Education and Skills Training (BEST) project was nationally recognized in Bhutan, profiling the Empowering All: Inclusive TVET for Sustainable Growth Forum on Bhutan’s national news station, Bhutan Broadcasting Service (BBS) and headlining the front page of the Kuensel, Bhutan’s national newspaper.
The publications shared how the forum brought together stakeholders to address and overcome the barriers to inclusivity in TVET by sharing insights, developing action plans, and showcasing best practices for creating equitable access and opportunities for all.
National recognition of this forum in Bhutan is critical to harnessing the transformative power of TVET and creating an environment for all learners to thrive.
