TRANSFORMING TEACHER EDUCATION IN INDIA: THE ROLE OF NEP 2020 IN A DYNAMIC SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT

This study examines the potential impact of India’s New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 on teacher education within the contemporary socio-economic landscape. The research focuses on assessing whether the NEP’s proposed reforms – such as curriculum modifications, a heightened emphasis on skill development, and inclusivity measures – align with the demands of an increasingly dynamic society and economy. By analyzing key aspects such as access to quality education, teacher readiness for modern instructional methods, and the policy’s responsiveness to diverse local socio-economic contexts, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the practical implications of NEP 2020. Ultimately, the findings will shed light on the effectiveness of NEP 2020 in cultivating a teacher education system that is both responsive and relevant to India’s evolving educational needs.
