VTOB is an innovative group of Educational Dreams to nurture SMART (Sincere, Mindful, Astute, Resilience, Timeless) active citizens through enhancing educational engagements. We are made up of VTOB Foundation as a community-based organisation in Thimphu and a host of social enterprises to sustain, inspire, action and lead. Inspired by our Beloved King’s vision for a locally rooted and globally competent Bhutanese with smart institutions in place, with the education reform in process and an opportunity presented by the pandemic, VTOB comes into light as an innovative, relevant and affordable educational solution and service provider led by a team of over 55 young members. VTOB initially started as a teacher voluntary group on March 7, 2020 after schools closed down due to the pandemic. With the support from Honorable Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Education and a list of other organizations, the team was fortunate to contribute voluntary services to develop BBS lessons, Radio lessons and Self-Instructional Materials (SIM) for 1,70,000 plus students along with numerous educational initiatives during the pandemic, which is cherished as a fulfilling endeavor to provide continued education during school closures.

VTOB aims to enhance educational engagements to nurture SMART Active Citizens through consistent quality services. The team walks the talk forward with dreams and actions to create lifelong learning platforms for all, to support the education reform process, to supplement mainstream education and create youth employment opportunities. VTOB is a social enterprise which believes in using education as a tool to solve social problems.
