Learning across borders
A visit by
four delegates from the
education department of Bhutan enriched the students and teachers of DLDAV
Shalimar Bagh. This is the beauty of an exchange program. We come closer as a
common humanity. We learn from each other, share knowledge and appreciate
diversities.
The
delegates were mesmerized by the beautiful campus which was dressed up for the
Education fair. Children of class V dressed up in traditional attire welcomed
the guests while the senior students enthralled them by a cultural program
showcasing their love for India. Principal Ms. Reena Rajpal applauded Bhutan?s distinction
as the only carbon negative country in the world urging the delegates to share
the efforts being made by the government to achieve this feat.
Thereafter, Madam
Principal took them for a campus visit showcasing the best practices of the
school. The Education Officer and Principals from Various schools of Bhutan
were amazed to see the prototypes created by the students in the Atal Tinkering
Lab like Seed Cutter, Solar Inverter, Smart Automated Vehicle, and the designs
made with the help of 3-D Printer and marveled at the innovative bent of mind
of young learners. Paper recycling plant was another practice that was hugely
appreciated. The delegates also enjoyed watching the tiny tots learning through
the BALA concept and EEDP program. Smart
boards in all classrooms and well-stocked library received praise as well.
The
delegates also visited the Education fair and congratulated the Principal and
staff for providing not only a holistic education program to the learners but
also preparing them for the professional life.
The
delegates from the greenest country of the world shared their concept of Gross
National happiness with the students and also answered the many queries put up
by them.
This
exchange of knowledge and experiences will be treasured by both the school and
the guest delegates.
