The Becoming of The Royal Academy At Damphu CS -I

The Vision of The Royal Academy -The Bhutan Baccalaureate is something very new for our education system and in fact a historic one. 

The general introduction by the program coordinator on the 7-day training on The Bhutan Baccalaureate, way forward seems so special in many ways. The idea and concepts of the Royal Vision was spelt out well and to the grassroots level. Every single program seems so relevant and special, especially for our pupils and community.

 

My learning of the day was immeasurable and special. I could learn education through transitioning the Bhutan Baccalaureate into reality from Bhutan for Bhutan to across the world. 

 

As I listened to our program coordinator and facilitators and participating schools, I felt so lucky and didn't know how the day had gone. 

 

Almost every aspect of presentation and learning were new to me in particular. I am happy to say that I have learnt tons of new paradigm shifts -perception, mentality, goodness of humanity, power of society, connection with community, making learner at centre, learning cycle, goal setting, roadmaps, watermark and the strength of nation lies in the power of education. 

 

The most amazing part of my learning of The Royal Academy was the education through the 5 areas of development. Nonetheless, I've come to realize the unique 7 gifts each child at The Royal Academy brings in from their home after the break to learn, share, explore, interconnect and weave of each individual background, culture and diversity as part of the main curriculum is an extraordinary vision of our beloved King.


Overall, I am happy to walk on The Royal Vision of education not just fantasizing and discussing but making it a promised reality to our future is genuine and timely.

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 ...
