The Minister expressed his concern on the need to build a strong and dynamic team within the Education
Fraternity by instilling a sense of responsibility amongst school leaders. The discussion also highlighted
the need for exchange programs to learn and share best practices. STEM education which is now refined as
STEAM with the inclusion of Arts (Human Psychology), in Bhutan needs to be strengthened and relevant
platforms must be created to provide opportunity to the students. It would also enhance our students’
ability to think, be creative and cope with modern science development.
