Study of Awareness Level of NEP-2020 among the Student Teachers of Bhopal

Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a comprehensive framework that outlines the vision and goals for the development of education in India. It aims to bring about significant reforms in the education system, catering to the needs of the 21st-century learners and addressing the challenges faced by the education sector. The NEP 2020 covers various aspects, including curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, teacher training, and the use of technology in education. One of the critical stakeholders in the successful implementation of the NEP 2020 is the teaching community. Teachers play a crucial role in shaping the education landscape and translating the policy's objectives into practice. Therefore, it is essential to assess the awareness level of teachers regarding the NEP 2020 to understand their understanding, readiness, and potential challenges in its implementation. This study aims to evaluate the awareness level of teachers in Bhopal, a city in Madhya Pradesh, regarding the NEP 2020. Bhopal is known for its rich educational heritage, with numerous institutions and educational institutions. By examining the awareness level of teachers in Bhopal, we can gain insights into the extent to which they are familiar with the NEP 2020 and its key provisions. The findings of this study will not only contribute to the existing body of knowledge but also serve as a basis for identifying areas of improvement and designing targeted interventions to enhance teacher awareness and preparedness for the effective implementation of the NEP 2020. The study outcomes can assist policymakers, educational institutions, and teacher training organizations in tailoring professional development programs, workshops, and resources to address the specific needs and gaps identified among teachers in Bhopal.
