University offers Trongsa Penlop Scholarships
Dasho Bap Kesang and Dr. Arthit Qurairat signs the MoU
27 August, 2007 - The Rangsit University in Thailand will provide 15 full scholarships and 30 short-term courses in a span of ten years as part of what it calls the ‘Trongsa Penlop Scholarships’. In addition, the university will also provide 10 scholarships in civil engineering in 2008, to commemorate the accession of Bhutan’s 5th king to the throne.
A memorandum of understanding was signed this week between the university’s president, Dr. Arthit Qurairat, and the Royal Civil Service Commission’s secretary, Dasho Bap Kesang.
The scholarships will be activated this year. They include programmes for masters, bachelors, post-graduates, and other short-term courses in areas such as engineering, education, management, information technology, and human resource development.
Dr. Arthit Qurairat said that the scholarships were a contribution towards Bhutan’s nation-building.
“It is also a gesture of great reverence to both the fourth Druk Gyalpo and His Majesty the King for their noble intention to lead Bhutan towards Gross National Happiness (GNH),” said Dr. Arthit Qurairat.
The scholarships will include expenses for books and study materials, insurance, accommodation and living expenses, apart from tuition fees.
His Majesty the King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck was conferred an Honorary Doctorate in philosophy, politics and economics from the Rangsit University last year.
Dr. Arthit Qurairat also spoke on the Thai-Bhutan relationship at the Royal Institute of Management.
Dr. Arthit Qurairat said that the “visionary transition” of Bhutan under the “revolutionary” new concept of GNH by His Majesty King Jigme Singye Wangchuck was inspiring.
The Thai National Economic and Social Development, Dr. Arthit Qurairat said, has adopted the GNH’s noble principles to formulate an Human Achievement Index aside from Gross National Product (GNP).
“Education meant nurturing and socializing the citizens from childhood throughout their lifetime,” said Dr. Arthit Qurairat. “The way we paint this lifelong learning picture of development will decide the future of our nations, the future of our world. And that is an immense responsibility we have in our hands.”
