The Great Fourth: Last I Saw in-person was in 2011

As serious as in his looks, he is serious in action. As handsome as in his appearance, he is serious in his personality. As a boy I grew up closely watching at the beautiful  kupar  of our king  Jigme Singye Wangchuck  my parents had hung up just above the first door of my parental house. Before I knew anything about the world, my parents introduced me to our king. Before I knew where he lives and what he does, I knew him as our king, King ( Raja ) of Bhutan.  His leadership have often caught the worldly attention. I started loving our king from a very young age. There is nothing as beautiful as giving a long staring looks at the  kupar  of our king, the Great Fourth.

I did 10 minutes online presentation to panelists of educationists and other enthusiastic viewers. However, it wasn't easy to face the onlooker's eyes and brain and camera. I was nervous and puzzled. Things didn't shaped as expected. It was my first experience in such a forum although I had attended several online talks in the first series of  EduTALK . Nevertheless, listening and watching others is so easy and sweet.  1# Syllabus This is where I picked up my presentation. I chanced to share my own experiences of how tiring and difficult it is to cover around 1200-1500 pages of prescribed syllabus. This is too much for 180 instructional days. Syllabus is one thing and the lack of required equipment is another, which is very much burdensome to both teachers and students, which hampers quality l
