Abstract: This research attempts to highlight the necessity of integrating Global Citizenship Education (GCED) into Bhutan’s educational curriculum aligning it with the fundamental principles of Gross National Happiness (GNH). It acknowledges the pivotal role of nurturing a global citizenship mindset among Bhutanese students, enabling them to comprehend global challenges, appreciate cultural diversity, and cultivate a profound sense of responsibility towards sustainable development. By establishing a robust connection between GCED and GNH, identifying implementation obstacles, and providing actionable policy recommendations, this research seeks to align and enrich GNH with the requisite knowledge, skills, and values of GCED to actively engage in global problem-solving while preserving Bhutan’s distinct cultural and societal values.
