“The teacher must be at the centre of the fundamental reforms in the education system”, mentions the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

As noted in the policy document of NEP 2020, teachers and trainers are an essential part of the structural reforms in India’s education system. The NEP 2020 sees teachers and trainers as facilitators, mentors and guides, who are motivated, energized, and capable.

Acknowledging this significant role of teachers and trainers, the policy has made several recommendations for improving teacher education in India. This includes the introduction of a 4-year integrated B.Ed. programmes, mandatory Continuous Professional Development (CPD), ensuring Career Management and Progression (CMP), and leveraging technology in training the trainers and teachers in developing their skills and capacities.

Teachers and trainers are responsible for the effective implementation of the policy not just at the grassroots level but also for taking it forward with research and innovation. With reference to NEP 2020, let us find out the top 5 reasons why teachers and trainers will play a critical role in its implementation.

5 reasons why teachers and trainers will play a critical role in NEP 2020 implementation

5 reasons why teachers and trainers will play a critical role in NEP 2020 implementation

1. New curriculum development and implementation

The NEP 2020 thrusts a lot of importance on creativity, innovation, work-integrated learning, and vocational education, among several others. To promote this, the policy envisions giving significant autonomy to educational institutions and motivated faculty to design and develop the appropriate curriculum and most efficient pedagogy. Therefore, the role of a teacher/trainer becomes crucial in contributing towards developing the relevant curriculum and pedagogy that directly influences the learning outcomes.

2. Imparting 21st-century skills and knowledge

Being the first education policy of the 21st century, the NEP 2020, strongly advocates the idea of preparing learners with 21st-century skills and knowledge.  The 21st-century skills like critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, taking initiative, problem-solving, etc. help learners build character and become well-rounded individuals. It becomes the role and responsibility of teachers and trainers to impart 21st-century skills among learners through engaging teaching methodologies.

To know more about the transformative changes in the education sector, crucial aspects of NEP 2020 that pertain to teacher development and training and more, check out our webinar on – “NEP 2020: Awareness and sensitisation for Teachers and Trainers” – https://youtube.com/live/ZulEB-coS0A

3. Creating an environment of innovation and creativity

In the light of NEP 2020, teachers right from the school level are expected to create a learning environment that fosters innovation and creativity among the learners. Through innovations in teaching and pedagogy, teachers and trainers can cultivate a sense of excellence and innovation among the students. The role of teachers in the classroom under NEP 2020 will be to promote and create an environment where students can think with a creative, critical, logical, and innovative mindset. At higher education levels, this innovative mindset is going to be fundamental in encouraging research in arts and humanities, sciences and social sciences, and thereby contributing to the progress of the nation.

4. Focus on outcome-based education

Unlike the current system of education, where the utmost importance is given to marks and grades, NEP 2020 focuses on outcome-based education. It aims to measure the skills and knowledge of a learner based on his/ her ability to perform a task, solve a problem and find innovative solutions. The role of a teacher becomes essential in creating learner-centric learning models with defined objectives and outcomes, evaluation of progress and personalised feedback.

5. Promotion of professional development of teachers

Teacher education and empowerment of teachers is one of the key areas of focus in NEP 2020. With advancements in the adoption of technology in education, with e-learning, online teaching, etc., it is necessary for teachers and trainers to undergo training in new learner-centric approaches. The NEP 2020 makes it mandatory for teachers to undergo Continuous Professional Development (CPD), where each teacher is expected to participate in at least 50 hours of CPD opportunities every year for their own professional development.

Through the suggestions and interventions in the policy, it is made evident that a teacher’s role as a facilitator and mentor is fundamental to the successful implementation of NEP 2020. For the above-discussed reasons and more, teachers and trainers are pivotal in creating an environment for fostering young minds and contributing to their holistic development in making them global citizens.
