Abstract

New Education Policy 2020 has been announced by honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi Ji to make India a knowledgeable vibrant country which is a current need of 21st century. The policy aims to promote the role of teachers in Indian society and culture and to develop fundamental skills in students as well as social, ethical, emotional and critical thinking skills in all students. However, there is no sufficient implementation of NEP -2020 yet. This study was conducted to explore the knowledge of teachers about NEP-2020. It was a questionnaire based study consisting of 10 questions. All data were analyzed in MS-Excel, SPSS. A significant proportion of teachers (68%) have foundational knowledge of current educational policy, indicating a basic knowledge that is essential for effective implementation. However, 52% of teachers were not aware about the role of NEP in higher education system, national education schemes. Only 20% of educators express confidence in using these frameworks. Most of the respondents deny to be benefited from National Education Schemes due to lack of awareness, highlighting the critical need for targeted professional development and support. Key gaps in technology integration and policy understanding were identified, highlighting areas where teachers need additional training and resources. Seminars should be organized regularly to keep teachers informed about national programmes and their implementation.
