Education Monitoring Officers, Mr. Karma Kuenphen and Mr. Yeshi Dorji from MoE, Thimphu was in Yebilaptsa MSS on 2/4/2014, to monitor and assess the progress and implementation of the education policies and programs. In fact, the EMOs expressed that they aren’t there to assess, compare or criticize on the practices of various schools, rather to get real and correct information on the situation and conditions that the teachers and students are working.
We were informed that their main purpose of making visits to school was to make general observation on the good practices and then to get feedbacks on the working of clubs. However, the meeting went on for around four hours with extensive discussions ranging from preparing daily lesson plans to SIP planning, class room lesson observation and ranking school according to scorecards to SSAT rating. The discussion also covered many other relevant areas which would help the school to function better in the coming years.
