Abstract

In this article, based on a brief introduction to the Bhutan Baccaleareaute and Nel Nodding's theories of happiness, education, and ethics of care, I will reflect on the possibilities of 'reimagining' education based on these two approaches. In conclusion, I will briefly discuss limitations and issues in the practical implementation of the two approaches to education.
