Abstract:

The National Education Policy, 2020, has provided further details on the qualities that teachers must possess in order to be effective educators and meet the goals of the policy. Today, we see that the concept of education is changing very fast. New ideas and innovations are being incorporated to make education useful and meaningful for the students and society. So, the education being imparted in the classrooms should be quite effective, and the teachers imparting the education should be competent and effective. It is possible only when teachers are resourceful in their knowledge and the different roles they play in the educational institutions, as well as in society. This report identifies areas for policy refinement and proposes measures for enhancing teacher education outcomes by conducting a comparative analysis of worldwide best practices and policy execution in India. The findings emphasize the importance of increased industry-academia partnerships, improved teacher preparation, and governmental changes to address systemic issues. This analysis suggests that, while NEP-2020 provides a solid platform for teacher education reform, its success is dependent on effective implementation. NEP-2020 could change the educational system to become more inclusive and skill-oriented if it is executed well.
