National Education Policy (NEP), 2020 is the first education policy of the 21st century and aims to address the many growing developmental imperatives of India. NEP, 2020 lays particular emphasis on the development of the creative potential of each individual. It is based on the principle that education must develop not only cognitive capacities but also social, ethical, and emotional capacities and dispositions. This book explains and examines various aspects of education system at different levels with special reference to India. It particularly focuses on the role and attitude of teachers in imparting economically and socially relevant education. A case study in this regard also forms part of the book.

By drawing on quantitative data and qualitative analyses of five major national education policies implemented in India over the last 15 years, this comprehensive volume explores their impact on teacher quality and perceived effectiveness, explaining how this relates to variations in student performance. Responding to a national agenda to increase the quality of the Indian teacher workforce, Teacher Quality and Education Policy in India critically questions the application of human capital theory to Indian education policy. Chapters provide in-depth and strategically structured analyses of five national policies – including the recently approved National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 – to see how Indian policymakers use teacher quality as a driver and measurement of education and national economic development. Ultimately, the text offers evidence-based policy recommendations to improve teacher quality in India, suggesting that while all five policies have contributed significant frameworks and recommendations for teacher quality reform, they have failed to move beyond a symbolic function. Given its rigorous methodological approach, this book will be a valuable addition to the under-researched question of education policymaking in postcolonial contexts. It will be an indispensable resource not only for scholars working on policymaking in the Indian context, but also for those working at the intersection of education, teacher development, and policymaking in developing countries.

The NEP, 2020 places a special focus on the individual's ability to develop their creative potential. It is founded on the premise that education must develop not just cognitive skills but also social, ethical, including emotional capacities & dispositions. This book describes and explores numerous facets of the education system at different levels with particular reference to India. It places a special emphasis on the function that teachers play in the process of delivering an education that is economically and socially relevant. The new education policy has brought with it a great deal of clarity on the expectations that should be placed on schooling. It declares that "education is important for reaching full human potential, building an equitable and to just society, and promoting national development." Education is necessary for achieving full human potential, developing an equitable and fair society, and promoting national development. The strategy requires an ambitious implementation plan that places an emphasis not only on universal human values but also on human culture and ethos. One of the most well-established examples of human culture and ethos is Indian culture and ethos. Learners are given the ability to recognize acceptable behaviors in an innate manner so that they may do excellent work for the benefit of others via the use of this book. Since they take precedence over everything else in a person's life, values are irreplaceable; they provide a person's character both purpose and resilience. One may readily introspect and evaluate the inculcation of values via behaviors since values are openly expressed in behaviors. There are many different values, and they can be categorized depending on their level of significance. In this world of confusion and chaos, which is further enhanced by injustice, values are the only thing that have the ability to channelize in the appropriate direction.
