School Of My Dream

"Gongsa Ugyen Wangchuck became the first hereditary King of Bhutan after a huge unprecedented internal struggle of power amongst the powerhouses of different regions. Despite huge challenges, he opened the first school in Haa in 1914. This marked the beginning of Modern Education in Bhutan".

 

Since then we came a long way, we passed unprecedented times in the struggle to unify country for a good and common education system. However, there is still much to do to improve our schools across the country. We'd be happy to see a common standard made for all schools that would ultimately benefit every section of people –rich and poor, bright and dull. 

 

My dream school is something very simple in design with a good set of teachers around. The teacher not only grabs the students' attention but also keeps them inspired through a holistic learning approach and warm like a caring home. A school should have new and quality infrastructures designed to meet the demand of future generations. Our school buildings need serious thinking and redesigning of engineering work with the future in view –with the idea that our future will be interconnected with complex challenges. Sometimes just looking at the building structure we don't feel like going to school or we don't feel attached or connected with the school environment. Therefore, good infrastructure plays a vital role in learning aspects without much to worry. It also gives a great sense of connectedness and liveliness to be around and learn in full capacity. Such schools would definitely ignite the spark of excitement that opens receiving minds to wider rage of realization. 

 

My dream school is a school with a SMART classroom setting for teaching learning. The use of technologies and robotics would be encouraged for greater learning of the subject matters.  

 

My dream school would be complete with amazing facilities namely classroom, labs, football pitch, pools, toilet facilities, safe drinking water and gyms. A smart library, attached health service room and counseling centre. In addition, the cafeteria serves healthy food prepared by trained cooks to encourage young kids on a balanced diet, which is vital for students who spend long hours actively engaged in various school activities. 

 

My dream school would be integrated with foreign exchange programs, which would create more understanding and respect for diversity. Such a program would greatly enhance and instill multiple and intercultural awareness beyond their home and school. Exchange programs for students would better their understanding of the world around them that would make them truly global not only, but also better them in every aspect of life. 

My dream school emphasizes sports like academics under the guidance of trained professionals. After all, education is not only for the mind, but also for the body. Since sporting activities would greatly instill a healthy lifestyle for young pupils to be physically fit and mentally strong. Through sports, they learn to build team spirit and encourage individuality and even help them build their self-esteem, bigger circle of friendships, morale and respect for the games. 

My dream school emphasizes academic subjects that focus on life after school. The syllabus would include value-based learning –environment, waste management, politics, civic sense, self-care and economy. 

While school is the best thing that ever has happened to humans, there is still yet more to do.  We must know that "if EDUCATION fails, nothing will succeed and if education succeeds nothing will fail".

Golden Words Of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck "...in particular, speaking for myself; my sorrow in having lost my own father is indeed very great. What is more the country has lost a king whose kind has till now never been known..."                                                                ( Royal proclamation to the people of Bhutan, July 26, 1972)                                      "...as far as you, my people, are concerned, you should not adopt the attitude that whatever is required to be done for your welfare will be done entirely by the government. On the contrary, a little effort on your part will be much more effective than a great deal of eff...

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your,  I can is more important than your,  IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?"   "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...
