Re: [MTC Global] GHP UNIVERSITY HAPPINESS

Dear Prof. Virendra Goel Sir,
Thank you so much for sharing vision document of Royal University of Bhutan; here are some of the statements which address the issues being simultaneously deliberated in two more threads

Above all, the kind of values that the faculty imparts to the students is critical.

The Faculty
It is possible to have a most forward-looking, dynamic and flawlessly conceived and perfectly formulated curriculum matched by fabulous facilities and resources. However, it is the academic community, the intellectual life and the love of knowledge that animate and give purpose and direction to institutions of learning.

Goodlad (1990:48) identifies four dimensions of faculty engagement:
• Facilitating Critical Enculturation
• Providing Access to Knowledge
• Building on Effective Teacher-Student Connection
• Providing Good Stewardship.

To quote Einstein, "It is not enough to teach a man a specialty. Through it he may become a kind of useful machine, but not a harmoniously developed personality.
• It is essential that the student acquire an understanding of and a lively feel for values.
• He must acquire a vivid sense of the beautiful and the morally good.
• Otherwise, he - with his specialized knowledge – more closely resembles a trained dog than a harmoniously developed person.
• He must learn to understand the motives of human beings, their illusions, and their sufferings in order to acquire a proper relationship to individual fellowmen and the community."
• (quoted in Goodlad, ibid:227).

Institutional Integrity: the University's Life Force
.........The strengthening and advancement of institutional integrity in the Royal University of Bhutan in the manner mentioned above will be critical contributors to advancing the goal of gross national happiness.

Thank you once again for sharing valuable information,
With warm regards,

Subject: [MTC Global] GHP UNIVERSITY HAPPINESS

Attached article may be of value for those who are interested in total
education system of the country. Whether we should focus on GDP (Gross
Domestic Product) or GNP (Gross National Happiness)is an important issue.
