Indian National Education Policy: The Knowledge and Understanding of Secondary School Teachers in West Tripura District

Abstract

The quality of a nation depends on the quality of its people and the quality of education the people receive. Education is the main structure of the country’s socio-economic development. The development of society and the education system are closely related. A demographic and modern welfare state has considered the responsibility of spreading education as a national task because democracy is based on the development of the education of the people of a country. Different countries provide different education based on tradition and culture and adopt different stages of school and college education to be effective. India’s National Education Policy (NEP 2020), approved by the Indian Union Cabinet on July 29, 2020 based on the recommendations of an expert committee headed by Dr. Kasthuriranjan, former Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). It replaced the National Policy on Education of 1986. The aim of the policy was to create an education system rooted in Indian values that would directly contribute to the transformation of India by providing quality education to all, thus making India a global educational power. The current study is conducted in West Tripura District High Schol to analyze the perception of NEP -2020 among teachers. This study will help to increase awareness of NEP-2020 among secondary school teachers and provide teachers NEP 2020 awareness program accordingly for its successful implementation.
