Overview
The UPSHIFT Impact Assessment and Documentation project evaluates how UPSHIFT builds 21st-century skills among Bhutanese students as the programme expands nationwide.
Through a mixed-methods study and a short impact video, the assignment provides the first baseline on student skills, teacher implementation experiences, and the effectiveness of UPSHIFT's integration into the whole-school Scouting system.
Nyingnor delivered comprehensive assessment tools, nationwide data collection, field documentation, and impact video production to guide the national scale-up of UPSHIFT.
