Impact of National Education Policy- 2020 on Teacher’s Education and Education System

Abstract

A teacher takes a student's hand, opens their mind, and touches their heart. Teaching is the only profession in which hand, head, and heart are equally vital. Teachers significantly impact the future of our children and, by extension, the future of our country. Recently, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) published the final report National Education Policy 2020. Government of India's New Education Policy (NEP 2020) was a welcome change and welcome news in the midst of all the negativity surrounding the world owing to the issues brought by the Covid-19 pandemic. The news of NEP 2020 came as a complete surprise to many. The recommended modifications by NEP 2020 were something that many educators did not see coming. The NEP2020 has divided teacher education into two categories: school education and higher education. NEP-2020 designed something new for teachers, which will aid in the enhancement of India's education system. This paper explores the planning and execution of the new NEP-2020 programme for teachers in secondary and higher education. This paper also describes the key aspects of NEP-2020 and analyses their impact on the current educational system.
