Bjishong Central school from the eye of Volunteer Teacher

Applaudable Good Practices:

  • Remedial classes every Tuesday
  • Collaborative group learning
  •  Pledges every day
  • Special class for class x
  • Traditional song in the morning assembly
  • Week allotment for talks by staff on various topics and club report
  • Adoption programme
  • Most of the decisions being routed through SMB and SMT
  • Teachers sit-in for professional development (PD) every Saturday
  • Principal giving motivational guidance to every individual teacher besides students
  • Four teachers deployed for study duties
  • Group Evaluation
  • Freely available sport resources on weekend - Kept students engage, busy and happy
Some of the things, I feel, School need to reconsider:
  • Heavy Work Load for teachers; if this is taken in to consideration, I think teachers could do formative assessment on time, plan better lesson plan, stress more on teaching, could rendered more guidance - academic performance may improve drastically
  • Students sleep in class hours even from morning period. They won't listen much and won't do home work. Out of wonder, I happen to discussed with other regular teachers, they would say "Students here in this school are just like this". I felt like past teachers have not don't their part. This trend need to amend. 
  • Students not taking evening and morning prayers seriously. Most of them try to bunk or come late for morning assembly. Even if they attend the prayer, after some time, they would go to toilet. 
  • Majority of students are repeatedly falling sick of unknown diseases. If the rumours is true, school should do more than just the annual school Rimdo. 
  • It seems Principal is out of station most of the time, I feel like school head should be in the office so that school runs successfully every single day
  • School curriculum outdated, required to update accordingly with the current situation, so that -(1) Teacher won't have to worry for the syllabus coverage, (2) the skill mismatch of supply and demand in the labour force won't be a problem later
  • Non- teaching staff or Dzongkha teacher teaching maths (Just an example), I feel that students are not getting adequate subject knowledge resulting the accusation of students for lacking the basic foundation in the next higher level class by subject teacher.

Truth about FIRST LOVE

"Hell, I am too tired today", grabbed a bottle of iced cool beer and duck into a cozy bed. 'It was too hot today, why was I struggling? Money can't buy our life nor my love'. Such thoughts flash in the mind. I emptied the bottle in a sip and found myself watching the romance movie titled 'Just friend'. It was this movie that dragged me back live to the year, where I meet someone dear to me. I remembered everything in a glimpse. I recalled having fun. Laughing and walking hand in hand amidst those green cornfields. There used to be the aroma of intimacy and love which spread afar with the gentle breeze. The bees were merrily buzzing around then. It was in such time, I have insanely adored her more than anyone. The only one that I have loved desperately, I thought.  It has been a couple of years and scary to share those incidences. It is even harder to believe that love would tremble down in such waste into the gross trash. I am not sure if I have made a bi

What can I say? you guys are the best. How can I forget you all? Always keep in contact and I will be happy to help you all. Thanks very much for the tea, warm wishes, and the cards.  After going through your card and listening to your speeches, I feel very proud and it is encouraging for me to be a better teacher in the future. I also felt like I should have done better than that.  Thank You all, the class VIII B of 2015, Bjishong Central School, Gasa.

I am for one person

I completed my studies in 2015 and was bouncing back and forth in my life. I served six months as a volunteer teacher, then a year each in a private and government school prior to officially joining the secured government job in 2019. During such time, marriage was out of the question. However, there were three beautiful girls who wanted to get married to me. One was called Karma and she was arranged for me by my eldest brother. She was beautiful but short and had a drinking habit. She was a few years younger than me and divorced. She came to the airport to receive me along with my family when I was returning from university. I didn't know why she was there until that evening. I was taken directly to her house instead of my younger sister's place. Things happened, but not to last long. She would call me and try to convince me to stay with her. But never pleased me. Another one was while I was serving in a private school in Thimphu. She was doing her bachelor's degree at S
