Coinciding with the auspicious 71st Birth Anniversary of His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo, Paro College of Education celebrated its 51st Foundation Day yesterday, marking more than five decades of contribution to the development of Bhutan’s education sector. Over the years, the college has played a significant role in preparing generations of teachers who have served communities across the country.
The occasion, graced by the Honโble Lyonpo of the Ministry of Education and Skills Development, provided an opportunity to reflect on the college’s 51-year journey, recognise its contributions to the nation, and reaffirm its commitment to nurturing competent and responsible educators.
As part of the celebration, the college launched the Certificate in Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Foundation for Well-being, developed in collaboration with the Ministry and UNFPA in Bhutan. Through this interactive online course, educators across Bhutan will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Comprehensive Sexuality Education and strengthen their capacity to support the health, dignity, safety, and well-being of children and young people.
The event also featured the unveiling of the college’s upgraded website, journal portals, and publications. Individuals were also recognised for their distinguished service and academic achievements, honouring their contributions to the growth and development of the institution.
