In order to nurture law-abiding citizens, Bhutan National Legal Institute (BNLI) is educating students on the country’s laws and its purpose. The institute is doing this through the law clubs set up in schools across the country.

To further strengthen these clubs, BNLI recently organised a two-day legal education and awareness programme in Phuentshogling.

Over thirty Law club coordinators learnt about the laws of the country and its purpose in the society, legislation, courts and judicial processes. They were also educated on the roles of law enforcement agencies and mediation among others. The participants are expected to share the knowledge with the student members in their respective schools.

“Law is the root of peace in the country. So, if we can impart knowledge about laws in the country to our students from this very age, then students might at least refrain from engaging in criminal activities. We are hopeful that we will be able to impart at least 80-90 per cent of what we have learnt here,” said Tshering Lhaden, a teacher participant from Katsho Lower Secondary School in Haa.

“When we go back to our schools, we will further strengthen the already existing law club in our schools. We are planning to organize various activities to let students know more about the laws in the country,” added Sangay Penjor, a teacher participant from Motithang Higher Secondary School in Thimphu.

Law clubs were first introduced in schools across the country around eight years ago by Bhutan National Legal Institute. The clubs have been undertaking programs such as legal literacy, regional and national mock trials and moot court competitions, peer mediation legal essay and quiz competitions in the schools. Today, forty-four schools have law clubs. The clubs functions under the patronage of Bhutan national legal institute.
