The new
National Education Policy 20-20 emerged as a response to recognised
deficiencies in the previous national education policy. The National Education
Policy (NEP) 2020 introduced a revolutionary change to Indian education through
its teacher education programs. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020
brought a transformative change to Indian education through its teacher
education programs. The policy introduced a new education system that requires
teachers to undergo training for innovative teaching methods that replace
traditional rote learning approaches. The policy supports a transition from
separate teacher training institutions to multidisciplinary education colleges,
which offer teacher candidates access to multiple subjects for developing their
understanding. The NEP introduced technology integration as a fundamental
transformation in teacher education programs. It states that digital literacy
must be taught to students and teachers as an essential skill. The updates to
teacher education programs now teach future educators how to use technology
effectively in their teaching methods. The National Education Policy 2020
created extensive changes that affect teacher education programs in multiple
ways. The NEP's focus on teacher education creates a path for India to achieve
universal access to high-quality education in the modern world. This chapter
examines how the National Education Policy 2020 introduced fundamental changes
to teacher education through its analysis of the policy's impact.
