GNH: Values and Practices at Sherubtse College

Gross National Happiness (GNH) and quality of education have risen in popularity in Bhutan and the world at large in recent years. Practice of GNH values was studied among sta and student leaders at Sherubtse College, one of the institutes of the Royal University of Bhutan. Findings showed that an average of 3.26 scores (meaning GNH values are practiced sometimes) on Likert scale of 0 to 5 scores was obtained in the eight domains of GNH like education, health, psychological well-being, community vitality, culture, time use, ecology and living standard. GNH values practised can serve as a measuring yard for the quality of curriculum or education imparted to students in the institute.
