Temasek Foundation has partnered the SIF in Bhutan W.I.R.ED ("Weaving Infotech Resources in Education"), a three-year project to help Bhutan's education system employ IT for learning and teaching. Launched in April 2009, the project is a collaboration with the Bhutan Ministry of Education and Royal University of Bhutan.

Through Bhutan W.I.R.ED, the use of IT will be integrated into the curricula at the Paro College of Education, Samtse College of Education and five-pilot project schools in Bhutan. Forty lecturers at the two teacher-training colleges and 25 teachers at the pilot-project schools will learn to develop and use IT-based lessons. Singapore volunteers skilled in IT-curriculum implementation will live and work at the pilot project schools, while selected Bhutanese teachers and lecturers will be invited to Singapore on study visits. A model IT classroom will also be set up at a pilot-project school, where the trained teachers can transfer what they learn to their colleagues.

The project is supported by a grant of $237,000 from Temasek Foundation.
