For English Medium

Third Druk Gyalpo Jigme Dorji Wangchuck

This is the extract I'm looking for long to put as an archive.

“The Third Druk Gyalpo was a visionary who understood that Bhutan was small and isolated, and that a Hindi-based modern education system would limit Bhutan's scope in international engagement. He therefore, adopted English as the medium of instruction in schools and began in earnest to build an education system that became the foundation of a network of primary, secondary and tertiary institutions that we see in Bhutan today”.

I'm still looking forward to anything more priceless than this King's vision. Small yet so profound that we are lucky to have our education system all in English. Otherwise, we would be lingering and behaving so traditionally in all aspects of life.

I've been eager to put this into perspective for several compelling reasons that I believe are important for us. If for nothing else, our shared working language of ENGLISH is invaluable.

Thank God!

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 ...
