EMPOWERING TEACHER EDUCATION TO ACCOMPOLISH NEP 2020 GOALS

Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 introduces a significant transformation in the Indian education system, focusing on building an inclusive, adaptable, and multidisciplinary learning environment. A key aspect of this policy is teacher education, recognizing the essential role teachers play in shaping both learners’ futures and the nation’s progress. This article explores into the NEP 2020's provisions related to teacher education, highlighting the use of technology, ongoing professional growth, and a transition from rote memorization to fostering critical thinking and creativity. It outlines strategies for effective execution of these reforms while addressing potential challenges and opportunities. Ultimately, achieving the objectives of NEP 2020 relies on cultivating a skilled, dynamic teaching force capable of promoting holistic student development and preserving the fundamental values of the Indian education system.
