Abstract

The National Education Policy-2020 has reaffirmed the role of teacher as the host of desired transformations. NEP-20 of India aims to transform the nation by improving its previous education policy. The NEP seeks to inculcate 21st century skills in students and make the country’s education more inclusive and flexible. It recognizes that teachers play a crucial role in achieving these goals and emphasizes the need to improve the quality of education in India. Teachers actually shape the future of students, so they also build the future of our nation. Teachers in India are now the most respected members of society and only the most gifted and knowledgeable persons are teachers. In order to provide students with the prescribed knowledge, skills and moral values, society provided all they needed by teachers or gurus. The spirit of higher status for teachers and respect for them and respect for teachers must be revived so that teachers are encouraged to include better people in their profession. The Policy puts teachers at the core of the learning process and underlines the importance of empowering strategies to orient them for the revived aspirations of the learners and the policy maker’s continuous professional development of teachers every year. Besides, teachers have been assured of more autonomy and freedom in pedagogical and curricular aspects. Acknowledging the importance of quality teachers, it paves the way for a robust merit-based structure of tenure, promotion, and salary structure to incentivize outstanding performers. It reaffirms that the teacher is a disseminator of multidisciplinary knowledge and a crusader for revamping of entire education system so as to sync it with the spirit of the policy to integrate the essence of cherished ancient traditions with the modern education.
