A STUDY OF AWARENESS ON NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY 2020 AMONG TEACHER EDUCATORS OF BHOPAL DISTRICT

Abstract

Education has long been recognized as the cornerstone of national development, shaping societies, economies, and individual destinies. In India, the evolution of education policies has been a reflection of the country's socio-economic aspirations, addressing critical concerns of access, quality, and equity. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a paradigm shift in India's approach to education, seeking to modernize the system to meet the demands of the 21st century while preserving the nation's rich cultural heritage and diversity. This policy proposes a holistic, flexible, and learner-centric framework that aims to nurture creativity, critical thinking, and innovation among students, thereby preparing them for global competitiveness.
