The Gesarling Central School has brought significant improvement to schooling in the district of Dagana in terms of creating a learning environment through better facilities and access to materials, which has improved academic performance according to the school authorities.
“Our main aim and objective is to improve the performance of our students not only in studies but also in sports, literature and other co-curricular activities,” said School Principal Tashi Wangdi. “The students studying in urban areas are found to be more confident and exposed because of facilities and educated parents so the school is trying to provide every facility to enhance learning and exposure.”
Academic performance according to school records has gone up by 40% with most students fetching grades above average. This could be the result of extended study hours according to the principal.
