Skills, Processes, Watermarks

In the Bhutan Baccalaureate, Skills, Processes, and Watermarks are fundamental components that support the holistic development of learners, shaping them into well-rounded individuals. Skills refer to the practical abilities learners acquire through their learning experiences. These include critical thinking, communication, collaboration, leadership, problem-solving, and creativity. Developing these skills equips learners to effectively face challenges and seize opportunities in various aspects of life, both personally and professionally.

Processes are the approaches and methods learners use to gain knowledge and build skills. This includes inquiry, reflection, experimentation, and continuous improvement. By engaging in these processes, learners become active participants in their education, deepening their understanding and adaptability in a rapidly changing world.

Watermarks represent the personal qualities and values that learners cultivate over time. Attributes such as resilience, empathy, humility, discipline, integrity, and responsibility are nurtured to develop learners’ character. These qualities help them grow into ethical, compassionate, and become contributing members of society.
