This monograph is one of APCEIU's EIU Best Practices Series, which aims to encourage educators, scholars, and activists to implement and share local initiatives on EIU. The Series No.21 introduces the case of Yonphula Lower Secondary School in Trashigang, Bhutan, which successfully incorporated EIU principles into the existing curriculum. With the Gross National Happiness (GNH) principle as Bhutan’s educational framework, EIU can fit easily to the academic settings and system. The case highlights activities, such as providing non-formal education for illiterate parents, and counseling services, health programs, and meditation programs to students, in exemplifying how innovative school activities can optimize the GNH framework for the promotion of EIU.
