The Department of Curriculum Research and Development (DCRD) had launched a major Science Curriculum Reform for Classes IV to XII in the 10^th FYP. The Science Curriculum Framework is developed as a guiding document to inform the curriculum developers, teachers and parents alike about the intent and principles or assumptions underpinning the science education for Bhutanese schools.

The document “Science Curriculum Framework for Cl PP – XII” was developed with the assistance of a consultant supported by UNESCO, New Delhi through a series of consultations with science teachers from schools and lecturers from the teacher training colleges, stakeholders from different government organizations and business communities.

The Science Section makes this provisional edition of the framework (PDF: 2.18 MB) available online to invite critiques, suggestions and comments to make it as meaningful and relevant for our schools. You can post your suggestions and comments in our online discussion forum or send us an email.
