Wangsel Institute for the Deaf

The trainees from Paro College of Education (PCE), currently pursuing their Master’s in Inclusive Education, are learning Bhutanese Sign Language (BhSL) at Wangsel Institute for the Deaf with remarkable enthusiasm.

Learning BhSL is also enriching them in meaningful ways—it is strengthening their ability to communicate inclusively, deepening their empathy and understanding of Deaf culture, and equipping them with practical skills to support diverse learners in their future classrooms. This experience is not only enhancing their professional competence but also shaping them into more compassionate, responsive, and inclusive educators.

This initiative also reflects a fruitful collaboration between PCE and Wangsel Institute for the Deaf, where shared expertise and commitment are creating meaningful learning opportunities. Such partnerships play a vital role in advancing inclusive education and fostering a more accessible and supportive learning environment for all.

Wangsel Institute for the Deaf with great joy observed its Annual School Rimdro (Ritual Ceremony) on 1 May 2026, coinciding with the 25th National Zorig Day.
The sacred ceremony featured the Pel Dueki Khorlo (Kalachakra) Puja, presided over by a Trulku from Pangrizampa College of Astrology, along with a team of monks. Held on the auspicious 15th day of the Bhutanese lunar calendar, the event also included a Thruesur ritual dedicated to all vehicles.
A special highlight of the occasion was the awarding of BQF Certificate Level 2 to graduates of the previous academic year, marking a proud milestone in recognition of their hard work, perseverance, and achievement.
The institute extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Trulku and monks for their spiritual guidance and blessings, and to all parents and well-wishers for their generous contributions and unwavering support.
With renewed blessings, hope, and determination, the Wangsel family looks forward to the year ahead with unity and purpose.

Heartiest congratulations to our 2026 captains on receiving your badges and khadar today. This marks the beginning of a new journey of leadership, service, and responsibility. May you lead by example with dedication, humility, and commitment, inspiring others through your actions and positive spirit. Wishing each of you a successful and fulfilling term ahead as you take on this important role with pride and confidence.

Today, we raise awareness about Autism at Wangsel Institute.
Autism is not a disability, but a different ability. Every individual with autism has unique strengths, talents, and ways of experiencing the world. At Wangsel, we believe in inclusion, understanding, and acceptance for all learners.
Let us work together to create a supportive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and empowered to shine.

Active parental involvement plays a vital role in a child’s progress, as it reinforces learning, builds confidence, and supports overall development.

Building on this understanding, the institute conducted a one-day orientation program that provided parents with an opportunity to share their experiences and gain practical insights into supporting their children’s growth.
It benefited parents by improving their understanding of deafness, introducing effective communication methods, and providing simple strategies to support learning at home. It also emphasized the importance of the parents’ role in language development, highlighting that sign language is the most accessible language for deaf children. Therefore, parents learning sign language is essential, as it strengthens communication, supports early language development, and fosters a closer emotional bond with their child.

World Down syndrome day(WDSD).

As usual, Wangsel Institute observed World Down Syndrome Day with great enthusiasm and a strong sense of community, joining the global movement to raise awareness and celebrate the uniqueness of individuals with Down syndrome.

The program was enriched by a heartfelt talk from a parent, who shared her experience of raising a child with Down syndrome, helping everyone better understand the importance of support, acceptance, and inclusion.

We remain proud to support and empower our students, who inspire us every day and remind us that everyone can thrive with the right opportunities and encouragement.

Let us continue to break barriers, embrace diversity, and build a more inclusive community for all.

Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

Wangsel Institute for the Deaf proudly instituted the Bird Watching Club for the first time, creating a wonderful opportunity for our students to explore nature and learn beyond the classroom. As part of the club’s first activity, students were given the privilege of going on a short trip to observe birds in their natural habitat.
The students truly enjoyed the experience. It was a fun and meaningful learning journey where they discovered different types of birds, observed their behaviors, and developed a deeper appreciation for nature. The trip was filled with excitement, curiosity, and smiles.
We look forward to organizing many more bird-watching trips and activities in the future to continue inspiring our students to learn from the natural world.
