  ( 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 her

  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.

 At Dam Dum bridge After my arrival here at Samtse I visited this beautiful place on Saturdays and Sundays to have a glance at beautiful nature and take a break from tight scheduled assignments submission. I was mesmerized by the captivating landscape. As I went for a walk, the sound of the flowing river filled the air, creating a soothing atmosphere. The scenery was breathtaking, with lush green grasses and a river flowing down the valley. Every time I visited the place, I decided to take a swim in the crystal-clear water. It was an unforgettable experience with my friends that truly immersed me in the beauty of nature.   

 Time "Value your precious time at the moment as we don't have a rewind button in life".   Time is a priceless and valuable gift from nature. However, we do not perceive the presence or worth of time until we become conscious and self-aware of it. I believe that time controls everything in the cosmos. From conception to death, at any stage and under all conditions. Time is an essential component of human life. The individual who recognizes the value of time works tirelessly to attain their objectives. Those who do not see the worth of time, on the other hand, pass on a chance. Certainly, it is a period when how we use and value our time will make a significant impact in our lives.

  Samtse College of Education It was great excitement for me to join in samtse college of education and awakening my excitement to open up a whole journey full of possibilities and new learning to spark my creativity, spirituality and new socialization. I entered the college gate with great positive affirmations after the long and arduous journey. However, things seemed weird and ordinary for me with the humid climate and hotness of samtse. My stay at Samtse College reignited my curiosity to experience a different environment and also provoked my interest to explore more. I learned a lot of new knowledge from different module tutors and to stay in class and concentrate on learning for more than 2 hours during block periods was quite challenging for me. Now ordinary things have turned into an expectable great embrace for me and so far, the stay in college is very casual and smooth going.

  Oral Presentation Doing oral presentation on mobile gaming in Bhutan, I felt the sense of excitement and nervousness. It was exciting and enjoyable because I had the opportunity to share my knowledge and ideas upon our individual group topic with my friends.
