Students at Yurung CS gain hands-on automotive skills through automobile club, Pema Gatshel

To meet the demands of the 21st century, schools are now increasingly focusing on equipping students with skills that ensure employability. Yurung Central School in Pema Gatshel is one such school. The school has launched a pilot automobile club that aims to equip students with hands-on automotive skills, preparing them for careers in the field.

Students of Yurung Central School are getting their hands dirty, not with textbooks but by servicing vehicles.

The automobile club currently has six members. In the initial phase, students will learn basic tasks such as washing cars, enabling them to earn some cash while learning.

The club facility includes a car washing facility and a temporary shed to store mechanical tools.

“Sometimes vehicles break down easily. With the skills we gain here, we can fix minor issues ourselves without having to visit a workshop. That way, we also save money,” said Thukten Wangchuk, a club member.

“We can even help villagers if they bring their vehicles to us. I always think about how I can support others,” said Choning Darjay, another club member.

The Club Coordinator, Yeshi Norbu said, “I will teach students how to change engine oil, repair electrical components, and change tyres. I’ll do my best to share all that I know.”

According to the District Education Office, the administration is committed to supporting such initiatives to enhance students’ practical skills.

“Through collaboration with a local automobile workshop, students will be accepted as apprentices during the midterm and winter breaks. We’re also working with relevant training institutes to provide expert guidance. Our goal is to ensure students feel valued and gain the technical knowledge they need,” said Pelzang, the Chief District Education Officer.

The automobile club was officially inaugurated last week by the Dzongda during his visit to the school and the gewogs.

The club has received financial support from the district administration to procure essential tools and equipment.

It is the first and only automobile club of its kind in the district, driving young learners toward a more skill-based future.
