Bhutan Accreditation Council (BAC) accredited the College of Natural Resources (CNR), College of Language and Culture Studies (CLCS), and Royal Institute of Management (RIM) in Thimphu on May 10.
All three were graded A.
Education secretary Karma Yeshey said it is an important milestone for the council as it completes the first cycle of accreditation for those who qualify to be accredited. “Each institute is qualified to be accredited one year after the completion of the first batch of graduates.”
Although there are two kinds of accreditation, the council focuses on institutional accreditation, he said.
“The council would initiate programme accreditation in future with the help of professional councils. We also plan on facilitating regional and international accreditation.”
The purpose of the accreditation is to ensure that all Tertiary Education Institutes (TEI) meet a minimum standard. It is also aimed at advising, supporting and encouraging TEIs to maintain and enhance their quality of services.
