AWARENESS ON NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY 2020 WITH REFERENCE TO HIGHER EDUCATION AMONG TEACHER EDUCATORS

Abstract

The NEP 2020 has outlined an ambitious task of nearly doubling the Gross Enrollment Ratio in higher education from 26.3 per cent (2018) to 50 per cent by 2035 while improving quality of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and positioning India as a global education hub. The focus is on providing a flexible curriculum through an interdisciplinary approach, creating multiple exit points in what would be a four- year undergraduate programme, catalysing research, improving faculty support and encouraging internationalisation. One of the paradigmatic shifts will be the setting up of the Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) for the entire higher education segment. The HECI will act as a single regulator and several functions, including accreditation, funding and academic standard setting, will be carried out by independent verticals. These entities will eventually replace other regulatory bodies like the University Grants Commission (UGC) or the All India Council for Technical Education. The primary objective of the study was to find out awareness on National Education Policy (2020) among the Teacher Educators in Tenkasi District.
