Paro College of Education successfully conducted a three-day National Workshop-cum-Seminar on “From Data to Decisions: Leveraging Generative AI, EMIS and Motherboard to Enhance Teaching, Learning and School Administration” from 18–20 September 2026 under the GPE-KIX-supported MIEMIS Project.

The programme brought together education professionals, technical experts, college faculty, principals and teachers. Participants developed practical skills in extracting, analysing, visualising and interpreting education data and explored the responsible use of generative AI in teaching, assessment, personalised learning and school administration.

The President of Paro College of Education graced the concluding national seminar as Guest of Honour. He emphasised that data must be converted into knowledge and ethical action, while AI should strengthen, not replace, teachers, educational leaders and human judgement. He also highlighted data quality, privacy, fairness, digital literacy, academic integrity and the alignment of technology with Bhutanese values.

Keynote speaker Mr Joy Ito of Gelephu Mindfulness City shared experiences from his projects and work at Chiba Tech. He encouraged learning through building, experimentation and innovation, demonstrating how creativity and practical engagement with AI can support educational transformation and future-ready learning.

The programme successfully strengthened participants’ capacity to make evidence-based decisions and provided a national platform for discussing implementation challenges and priorities for a data-informed and AI-ready education system in Bhutan.
