In the eastern valleys of Bhutan, school grounds are undergoing a subtle but meaningful transformation that is becoming increasingly visible with each passing season. What was once confined largely to scheduled physical education periods or occasional inter-school fixtures is now beginning to take on a more continuous presence within school life, shaped by a growing recognition that sport is not simply an activity but a foundation for participation, wellbeing, and community connection.

The Bhutan Olympic Committee (BOC) is pleased to share that Bhutan’s Sports in School Programme has been featured in the Olympic Solidarity and NOC Services Annual Report 2025 titled “Game On: Igniting the Next Olympiad.”
