This paper attempts to present the unique position of the Kingdom of Bhutan in transition from a medieval society to a modem nation-state. It argues the centrality of education in the development of the country, focussing on the changes in the enrolment of girls in particular and that of children in general. The paper goes on to highlight the improvements made in formal and non-formal education, values education, quality assurance, teacher education and use of information technology. The paper concludes with a brief discussion on the advent of a national university as a culmination of the transition and looks ahead to the future where we hope to blend the fruits of the best of the modem with the best of the traditional.
