The present citizens of our country are so fortunate that we
get to reflect and appreciate the milestones of the education system of our
country. On other normal days, many
would have seen and many would not have seen many wonderful sides of education.
Today is the right day for everyone to fix its eyesight on education and feast
on the achievements of education.
Since the introduction of modern education in 1913 at Haa,
our education system has successfully completed its journey of hundred years.
The beginning, as we can imagine, may not have been smooth, conducive, friendly
and nowhere near our present system. Lots of physical and mental energy would
have been demanded, countless sacrifices would have been made, and numerous
innovations must have been put and lot more energy would have been wasted.
Still, our visionaries, great forefathers who did not mind sacrificing
everything they had for our comfort, were not deterred by the demand of
hardship. They went ahead with their plan of building beautiful shelter for the
present generations to get in rough and come out
polished.
As we jubilate in celebrating august Sherig Century,
I like to wholeheartedly thank Gongsa Ugyen Wangchuk, late First Monarch, for
sowing the seed of first ever modern education
in our country. The presence of present education systems in all twenty dzongkhags
are the sweet fruits of first seed sown. I also thank everyone involved in
nurturing education system throughout the long tedious journey since the
inception till this time. We feel proud to see our education system at the
equal elevation and meeting the international standards.
In these hundred years, our education did not remain static.
It has undergone lots of changes, shaped thousands of leaders, produced
countless of quality workforce and given us the status of an independent
nation. Today, alongside the celebration of hundred years of modern education,
I also see it apt to celebrate success of our education for the last hundred
years. It is also time to honour the diligence and tolerance of our great
nobles and visionary ancestors.
Our dzongkhag and I have already joined the nation in
celebrating the Sherig Century since May 2, 2012. With
unparallel jubilations at heart, numerous programmes have been conducted
across all schools coordinated by dzongkhag headquarter. Some prominent

The abovementioned programmes are too less in comparison to
the celebration of grandeur. However, the things that I have mentioned above
are not exhaustive. We still have lots of occasions to come together to pray
and celebrate the success of our education in the academic session 2013.
We pledge our loyalty and dedication for the continuous
growth of our education system. Whatever programmes we have conducted
and whatever programmes that are left with us to conduct, I represent the
education fraternity of Trashiyangtse to assure that we will do it with sincere
prayer, from deep within our heart, for the success of
education system for thousands of years to come.
