That's a pretty big decision and it not only changed the arrangements of the classroom but the entire learning experience. There is real change taking place in schools across Bhutan, and it is a growing recognition that furniture is more than something functional. Furniture defines a space where curiosity can be cultivated.
With significant change to the education system in Bhutan, classroom design is increasingly an important factor in student success. Good classroom furniture supports three main factors: Physical Comfort and Posture- which support neutral postures, and reduce fatigue. Attention and Engagement- Furniture can help to distribute distractions and support academic engagement in relation to classroom layout and design. Aesthetics and Identity- The modern furniture provides schools the means to represent and maintain a positive image in the eyes of students, and their parents.
The need for manufacturing to cater to the education system has evolved quickly in Bhutan. From traditional woodwork to rustic metal-wood combinations (the preferred choice in developed countries), luckily, Bhutanese manufacturers receive craftsman training blended with design training in the modern style of ergonomics found in many schools of education.
Carefully chosen and high-quality school furniture manufacturers from Bhutan, such as Vishvas Enterprises, have consolidated a strong-enough footprint that has offered:
Purchasing furniture that is produced locally is not only a situation of national pride, it is also practical! Here are a few reasons why:
Because of the variability of the weather in different areas of Bhutan, furniture should be made from materials that are durable. Manufacturers create furniture with coatings and finishes that are sturdy and deal with imperfections from temperature change and humidity.
If the school is working with a school furniture manufacturer in Bhutan, it will not have to deal with all of the huge import taxes and shipping costs that accompany international shipments. This freed up money can be allocated to other school improvement areas.
In contrast to international suppliers of school furniture, local manufacturers can deliver high-volume orders quicker, provide an easier return service, and provide a local service team on site.
The majority of Bhutanese manufacturers source their wood ethically and employ low vapor coatings, both of which allow support for the initiatives planned for environmental objectives.
