To kickstart the rollout, an orientation workshop will be held in Bumthang from April 1 to 3, 2026. A total of 25 participants, including senior officials, Dzongkhag Education Officers, principals, teachers, school sports instructors, and key stakeholders, will take part. Representatives from five Dzongkhags will join alongside officials from the Bhutan Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Education and Skills Development. Participants will represent six schools, including Woochu Lower Secondary School, Khangkhu Middle Secondary School, and Chundu Armed Forces Public School from the first phase, along with the three newly selected pilot schools. The workshop goes beyond orientation. It is designed to deepen understanding, align objectives, and set a clear and practical pathway forward. For the earlier pilot schools, the focus will be on strengthening and sustaining progress, while the new schools will be guided on effectively integrating the programme into the current academic year. A key highlight will be a special session where principals from the first edition share their experiences, challenges, and successes. This exchange is expected to be one of the most powerful moments of the workshop, offering real insights and inspiration grounded in experience. The Sports in Schools Programme is a collaborative initiative of the Bhutan Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Education and Skills Development, supported by Olympic Solidarity. As the second edition begins, it carries forward a clear vision—to embed a vibrant sporting culture in schools and empower students to lead, participate, and grow through sport.
