Celebrating Teacher's Day in Bhutan is especially meaningful as it not only honors the hard work and dedication of teachers but also pays tribute to the Third Druk Gyalpo, His Majesty King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, who is known as the Father of Modern Bhutan. Teacher's Day is celebrated on May 2nd, which is his birth anniversary, to recognize his visionary leadership and his deep commitment to education. His Majesty believed that education was the foundation of national development and social progress. By dedicating this day to teachers, Bhutan acknowledges the vital role educators play in shaping young minds, preserving the country’s values, and contributing to Gross National Happiness. It is a day for students and citizens to express gratitude, respect, and appreciation for teachers who guide, support, and inspire the future of the nation.
