In what is being described as a ‘huge strategic move’ the cabinet of Bhutan has moved to up the pay scale of its teachers and medical staff! The best part is, this hike is not only a meager 20% increment guys… 
Teachers and medical staff are now the highest paid employees of the Bhutanese civil sector!

According to a report released by the Bhutanese government, the number of teachers involved in the hike is 8,679 while medical staff numbers are around 4000!
The report also went on to explain this hike has finally overturned the present hierarchy in which unofficial civil service administrators enjoyed various perks including training and holiday trips.
