Today, Dec. 17 is a historic day in Bhutan. It was in Dec.17, 1907 the first Hereditary Monarchy was established, Sir, Ugyen Wangchuk was crowned as First King of Bhutan. We celebrate this day as National Day of Bhutan. All schools of a Dzongkhag (state) come together to celebrate and pay tribute to our monarchs and pray for peace and harmony of the country.
We had a celebration in a public ground in Paro, where the chief guest was the head of state (Dasho Dzongdha). There was march pass by the students from different schools and gathering waited for a live speech of our present King from the capital. His Majesty Jigme Ksher Namgyel Wangchuk addressed the nation and talked about the current situation of the country. His majesty expressed great concern of people, government and the nation, His Majesty is truly "a People's King".
Starting from this year, Royal Civil Servant Commission (RCSE) initiated awarding medals to civil servants who have served the government more than 10 years and above. The medals are in bronze, silver and gold. This is a true recognition of serving Tsa-Wa-Sum (a triple gem) and all civil servant are overwhelmed. Unfortunately I was not a part of it, I hope to receive the honor after two year only.
All schools across the country will close for winter vacation from tomorrow after having done the declaration of annual examination result. Students and teachers will enjoy the break until 10 Feb. 2014. But for the teachers it is a professional development time in Bhutan, there will be many workshops, seminars and training organised by different sectors and most of the teachers will be engaged. I will be moving to south-central Bhutan to attain Art orientation workshop conducted by Department of Curriculum and Research Division for few days and after that it will all be a break for me to rejoice, relax and come fresh next academic.
I wish all my Webskills friends, teachers & students of University of Oregon and Ms.Courtney a very warm New Year, also Happy Christmas.
All the best to everyone!
