After a highly successful pilot study demonstrating how Eduten can bring significant improvements to math learning results, the Ministry of Education and Skills Development of Bhutan and Eduten have entered into an agreement to roll out the Eduten platform nationally to all schools.

The 10-week pilot, which involved 500 students, 20 teachers, and 20 principals from various Bhutanese schools, demonstrated a significant improvement in math skills of the treatment group students compared to the control group.

"We are delighted to work with the experts at the Ministry of Education and Skills Development to help the teachers and students across Bhutan. This expansion from our pilot to national implementation is a testament to the Eduten platform's efficacy and suitability with the Bhutanese education system."
