Through the years, The Royal Government of Bhutan has made considerable progress towards setting up of a modern TVET and recognized its significance as one of the strategies to facilitate socio-economic growth and accorded priority. Part of this plan is to upgrade the quality and capacity of TVET schools all over the country. For this year, it tapped the Colombo Plan Staff College to aid them in this endeavor.
</p>
<p align="justify">
From April 1 until April 5, 2019, a total of 30 trainers, managers, and TVET regulatory authorities from TTIs, as well as private training providers, relevant officials from the Ministry of Labor and Human Resources (MoLHR), and other pertinent stakeholders from Bhutan were trained by CPSC on the role of Accreditation in Achieving Quality-Assured TVET Programs. The training program was held at the premises of the Natural Resources Development Corporation Limited (NRDCL) in Thimphu.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Through the efforts of CPSC in organizing this program, their quality assurance systems and processes for TVET will be reviewed and enhanced through the competencies and skills of the newly-trained staff.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The program was organized to: (1) Enhance the knowledge and skills on quality management system in TVET and suggest possible measures for QMS in Bhutanese context and (2) Recognize the significance of the Asia-Pacific Accreditation and Certification Commission (APACC) for Quality Assurance.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The overall arrangements were jointly supervised by the CPSC Director General, Dr. Ramhari Lamichhane and the Director of the Technical Education-MoLHR, Mr. Norbu Wangchuk. CPSC’s Faculty Specialist, Ms. Therese Tan Lee, was the overall program coordinator and primary resource person. She was supported by the Chief Program Officer for the TVET Professional Services Division of MoLHR, Mr. Sangay Dorji, who is also the local coordinator of the program. Discussions about the local context of accreditation was facilitated by the Chief Program Officer of the Quality Assurance Division at the Department of Occupational Standards- MoLHR, Ms. Yeshey Khandu.

The participants and guests were officially welcomed at the Opening Ceremony held at the NRDCL Conference Hall on April 1, 2019. The event was graced by the Chief Guest and the Honorable Secretary of the MoLHR, Dasho Sonam Wangchuk. His attendance is an affirmation of MoLHR’s support to CPSC’s activities in Bhutan and a demonstration of their confidence to CPSC’s abilities to deliver the needs of their staff on professional training particularly on TVET quality assurance.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The five-day event was a fruitful endeavor filled with activities and sessions that focused on the following themes: (1) QMS in TVET for Skilled Workforce; (2) Quality Assurance System on TVET Programs, Registration and Accreditation System; (3) Quality Assurance System on the National Assessment and Certification; (4) External Quality Assurance using APACC Criteria and lastly (5) Quality Assurance System of Bhutan. To complement the classroom activities, a study visit to the Royal Institute of Tourism and Hospitality (RITH) in Thimphu was also embarked to provide a more practical approach to fulfill the program’s objectives.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The five-day event concluded with a closing ceremon y held on April 5, 2019. In attendance are the high officials of CPSC and MoLHR, led by H.E. Lynpo Ugyen Dorji, Minister for MoLHR. He was able to meet separately with Dr. Ramhari Lamichhane to discuss common areas for future cooperation between CPSC and Bhutan. He was also able to address all the participants of the program and wishes for the overall socio-economic development of the country through the efforts of the TVET sector. Meanwhile, Ms. Therese Lee mentioned in her reflection the need for the participants to further continue their quality experience and lessons to a practical level.

March 26 marks the commemoration of the Independence day of Bangladesh (Bengali:স্বাধীনতা দিবস Shwadhinata Dibôsh). It commemorates the country's declaration of independence from Pakistan on late hours of 25 March 1971. The day is a memorial to the deaths of thousands of civilians who died in the subsequent Bangladesh Liberation War (Wikipedia, 2018).
</p>
<p align="justify">
Every year, March 26 brings the most tragic reminiscence of the history’s darkest episode that heralded a nine-month bloody ordeal from the night following March 25, 1971 in achieving the long-cherished independence on December 16 the same year at the cost of a sea of blood. The nation’s founding father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was detained that night. Before he was picked up, he had proclaimed independence.
</p>
<p><b>2019 Celebrations:</b></p>
</p>
<p align="justify">
The Independence Day is commonly associated with parades, political speeches, fairs, concerts, ceremonies and various other public and private events celebrating the history and traditions of Bangladesh (Rafid, 21 March 2017). TV and radio stations broadcast special programs and patriotic songs in honor of the Independence Day. Generally, a thirty-one gun salute is conducted in the morning. The main streets are decorated with national flags. Different political parties and socioeconomic organizations undertake programs to mark the day in a befitting manner, including paying respects at Jatiyo Smriti Soudho, the national memorial, at Savar near Dhaka.
</p>
<p align="justify">
For 2019, the government plans to promote the simultaneous singing of “Amar Sonar Bangla” or the Bangladesh National Anthem on the day itself. It was written by the Nobel Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore, and has been the national song since its independence in 1971.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will lead the nation to sing the national anthem at Bangabandhu National Stadium on that day. It will also be sung across the country and Bangladesh’s missions abroad. Educational institutions associated with the Bangladeshi missions will also participate in singing the national anthem simultaneously with the country or in their convenient time on the day. (Dhaka Tribune, 20 March 2019).
</p>
<p align="justify">
The Bangladesh Embassy in Manila is also planning to celebrate the special day with different programs, activities and promotions that will be attended by the members of the diplomatic corps based in the Philippines.

A total of 11 TVET administrators from the Philippines and Pakistan were trained on the development of quality assurance systems through a Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation Management from February 11-15, 2019. This customized program deals with the results-based monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act approach.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The program encouraged the participants to design and implement new or improved sustainable M&E system as essential part of the Results-Based Management (RBM) for a TVET institution The modules were designed for them to be able to set up effective monitoring systems as part of the quality assured programs. They were also encouraged to recognize the importance of M&E as an integral part of the education system programs and how a Results-Based Monitoring & Evaluation (RBM&E) system improve accountability and transparency and enhance the effectiveness of managing a TVET institution. The outputs generated by the participants will enable them to explain how to conduct stakeholder and organizational analysis and identify key success areas and performance indicators for TVET institutions’ projects and programs, as well as to prepare Monitoring and Evaluation Plan suited to their institution’s current set-up.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The 5-day activity was coordinated by CPSC’s faculty specialist, Ms. Therese Tan Lee and was supervised by CPSC’s Director General, Dr. Ramhari Lamichhane. The Research, Publication and Information Officer, Mr. Rae Emmanuel Echaveria, was also invited as one of the resource persons of the program.

Sri Lanka’s Independence Day is celebrated on 4th of February to commemorate its internal political independence from British rule on that day in 1948. It is celebrated all over the country through flag-hoisting ceremony, dances, parades and performances. Usually, the main celebration takes place in Colombo, where the President raises the national flag and delivers a nationally televised speech.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Many national struggles were made in the history of Sri Lanka. And on the Independence Day all of these are remembered and celebrated.
</p>
<p align="justify">
CPSC sends its warm wishes to its Sri Lankan brothers and sisters for this very auspicious and historically significant event.
</p>
<p align="justify">
<b>Preparations</b>
</p>
<p align="justify">
(From SLBC, 4 January 2019) The government is preparing to celebrate Sri Lanka’s 71st Independence Day on the 4th of February in a grand scale. The Independence Day Ceremony will be held under the patronage of President Maithripala Sirisena, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe and Ministers at the Galle Face Green in Colombo. A distinguished gathering of people including Diplomats will attend the ceremony.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The Independence Day Ceremony will consist of a march past by three armed forces and a colour pageant. An all-night Dhamma Sermon will be held on 3rd of February at the Independence Square building in Colombo. All religious rites will be performed in the morning of 4th February. The government has requested to hoist the National Flag at all State Institutions, private organizations and at houses in connection with the National Independence Day.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Last year, Sri Lanka celebrated her 70th Independence Day. President Maithripala Sirisena said that corruption, bribery and malpractices have the most unfavorable effect on the economic sovereignty of the country and everyone should carry out their duties properly. He also said that a broad national movement against corruption is essential for the self defence of the march towards the progress of the country. He noted that politicians as well as public servants must act with utmost financial discipline. The President said that the experience gained during the past seven decades must be utilized to face future challenges.

<b>Traditions on Sri Lanka National Day</b>
</p>
<p align="justify">
After years of being subjected to colonial rule, Sri Lankans celebrate their culture and national identity on National Day.
</p>
<p align="justify">
<i>Music</i>
</p>
<p align="justify">
Sri Lankans and travelers can enjoy the traditional music of Sri Lanka during National Day. This traditional music is often accompanied by colorful dance performances. This is a chance for people to learn more about the cultures of Sri Lanka.
</p>
<p align="justify">
<i>Lectures and Panel Discussions</i>
</p>
<p align="justify">
Various lectures are held at universities during National Day. These lectures often address topics such as Sri Lankan history, colonization, and sovereignty.
</p>
<p align="justify">
<i>Cuisine</i>
</p>
<p align="justify">
It is a common practice for Sri Lankans and travelers to sample various kinds of food and tea on National Day. These food offerings often include the staples of the traditional Sri Lankan diet, so fruits and legumes are common. It should also come as no surprise that tea is a centerpiece of the samples offered on National Day. This is because tea is one of Sri Lanka’s largest exports.
</p>
<p align="justify">
<i>Parades</i>
</p>
<p align="justify">
Many Sri Lankans express their patriotism by attending military parades and waving the flag of their nation. This allows Sri Lankans to show their appreciation for their nation’s current and fallen defenders.

<p align="justify">
The Colombo Plan Staff College (CPSC) and IRPC Technological College (IRPCT), Thailand sealed their intention for partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on December 24, 2018 at the Office of Vocational Education Commission (OVEC), Ministry of Education (MoE), Thailand. CPSC was represented by the Director General Dr. Ramhari Lamichhane and Managing Director Dr. Photiwat Paopongchuang represented IRPCT.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The OVEC Secretary General Dr. Suthep Chittayawong graciously chaired the event. In his Congratulatory Speech, he considered having five out of five APACC (Asia Pacific Accreditation and Certification Commission) gold awarded institutions a huge uplift in the quality of TVET education in Thailand. APACC is the accreditation arm of CPSC.

IRPCT is considered as one of the leading private technical colleges in Thailand that is directly affiliated with one of its major petrochemical and industrial companies, the PTT group. It is one of the model institutions in ASEAN in developing the competencies and skills of the graduates in preparing them for a career in heavy industry.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The MOU, which is valid for three (3) years, serves as an agreement between CPSC and IRPCT to cooperate in exploring the potential for joint activities in education and training, identifying opportunities for training staff members in customized training program arrangements on need basis, skills development training programs, accreditation training and accreditation and certification of institutions, training of accreditors, cross training or exchange of faculty and staff, and sharing of facilities and human resources.

As mentioned by Dr. Lamichhane in his speech, the above could be achieved through conducting capacity building programs, benchmarking activities and staff/student exchanges on various fields of interest. Another one is subscription to APACC. If this pushes through, IRPCT could be the first private college in Thailand to be accredited by APACC. This was agreed by Dr. Photiwat Paopongchuang and expressed his hope to expand network and further raise the quality of education in Thailand.
