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.
