To enhance the communication skill of the nuns daily language conversation class is c onducted in the evening under the supervision of a trained language teacher.This also develops a better understanding towards their set curriculum.
It plays a crucial role in preparing students by providing vocational training.Vocational education is the course that helps students to acquire skills in specific trade or function.Considering all the benefits of Vocational Education and Training ,Changchup Choeling Nunnery,Zangla zanskar came up with a Project which gives children an opportunity to choose and learn a skill of their own interest.Kids will gain real time experience and practical learning.“National Education policy 2020” also highlights the importance and implementation of skill appreciation and craft centric learning.The policy very well mentions the importance of developing skills over theoretical or rote learning for the students.The Changchup Choeling Nunnery,Zangla zanskar aims towards holistic growth of the nuns.The nunnery hopes that learning new thing can help them to grow as a person and understand the world around them better.This will also make them well rounded and skilled.With this approach the nunnery began the Vocational Education and Training on 6th May 2023.Every Saturday has been designated as Vocational training day in which they will be learning Pebble painting,Thangka art ,Mandala art,Paper Quilling,Mane inscription,Scripture writing,stitching,embroidery etc.Also this training will play a vital role in preserving their cultural art which are degrading gradually in the fog of moderninty.Another beautiful aspect of this program is Peer learning.The nuns knowing one skill will exchange it for learning another skill from the other nuns
