Nalanda Free School held its first teachers meeting just last Sunday 25 January 2026 to start off the new academic year.  School Principal, Dr. Ng Chwee Fang led discussions on teaching pedagogy and addressing students’ needs.

Dr. Ng shared the importance of instilling positive learning attitudes in both academic and character building which included developing self-awareness, self-learning, self-discipline, self-resilience and self-reflection.

School Principal, Dr. Ng Chwee Fang leads the discussion.

Free School Chief Coordinator, Sis. Nandinī Tan reminded teachers on Nalanda’s education motto “The heart of education, is the education of the heart”.  The role of the teacher is not just imparting knowledge but also to extend care for students well-being.  The care we give is a seed of kindness planted in the students.

Teachers then discussed ways to give positive reinforcement and constant encouragement.  They were happy for this opportunity to both give back to the community and also learn as they serve.  Our heartfelt gratitude to all teachers and volunteers for their wonderful commitment and service for the welfare of the community.  Sadhu.
