Taking classes beyond confined walls

Image
  ( B. Ed Eng/Geo students with DFC module tutor) As everyone knows, learning Dzongkha is a must since it is Bhutan's national language and the primary means of communication. This year, I learned Dzongkha, which will definitely help me when I start working as a teacher. During this period, our DFC tutor, Sonam Gyeltsen, took us outside the classroom, and it was really cool to learn in a new setting. We looked at the outdoors and practical applications. We also heard about the difficulties he encountered on his educational path in this inspiring life story. It enhanced the excitement and engagement of learning.

  Studying the Development of Bhutanese Education taught me important lessons about the importance of holistic education and the integration of traditional values and modern education. One of the most important lessons I learned was the importance of supporting the health and well-being of students. Bhutan’s approach recognizes that education is not only about academic achievement but also about personal development and well-being. This combination equips students with not only the knowledge and skills, but also the values and attitudes they need to lead successful lives. Another important lesson I learned was the value of incorporating traditional values into the learning process. Bhutanese education recognizes the country’s rich heritage and strives to preserve and promote it through education. By incorporating traditional values, customs and practices into the curriculum, students not only gain a deeper understanding of their culture, but also develop pride and respect for their...

Samtse tsechu

  Bhutan is known for its unique culture and tradition to others among which the tsechu festival is one. It was amazing to attend the tsechu in Samtse for three days. I can only imagine how enchanting it was to witness the mesmerizing mask dances and beautiful ladies dancing on the ground. And receiving blessings from the lama has added such a spiritual touch to my experience. Interacting with different people and seeing everyone come together created a sense of unity and joy among Bhutanese people.

While riding on a big wheel I nearly fainted shouting on top of voice to stop rotating. Afterall, I finished all my stipend money for fun and the joy of experiencing new things.
