Education is a never-ending journey. The aims of the Education Committee or its primary goal is to promote a holistic development of children of the Buddhist community. As the child grows, the results of education are visible in the form of a better and more prosperous life. This is mainly because education empowers people to become mindful of their liberties and obligations in a societal structure. The answer to the question of what is the aim of education, is that education equips children with cognitive ability, physical growth, morals, and ideas. In this way, by empowering future citizens, education also benefits society at large.
To provide quality education to the children of the poorest section of the Buddhist community, two institutions had been set up by the LBA, namely-Riglam School, Choglamsar and Jamyang School, Khaltse. These two schools are completely owned and run by the LBA. The LBA Executive Body in consultation with the Central Working Committee frames rules and regulations for the efficient functioning of these institutions. The schools' Management Committee consists of members from the LBA Executive Body and the Central Working Committee. Apart from them, the Management Committee also have highly experienced and committed Buddhist educationists who have wide range of practical experience in running such institutions. The Committee may organize seminars, workshops, debates & discussions and conferences, to highlight the importance of education in general and to elevate the education level of the lower section of the Buddhist community in particular. The Committee may also interact and coordinate with any public or private institution dealing with education and research.
The committee usually invites educationists, experts, scholars, and young professionals to conduct seminars, workshops, conferences, debate & discussion.
