Background and Context

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a comprehensive policy aimed at transforming the Indian education system by focusing on holistic development, improving the quality of education, and ensuring equity in access to learning opportunities. One of the critical components emphasized in NEP 2020 is the quality of teachers and the importance of assessing and improving teacher competencies. Teachers are central to the success of any educational system, and ensuring that they have the necessary skills and competencies is crucial for achieving the goals outlined in NEP 2020.

NEP 2020 emphasizes the need for teacher education reforms, professional development, and continuous evaluation of teachers’ pedagogical skills, subject knowledge, and the ability to engage with students in innovative and effective ways. This requires a comprehensive framework for assessing and evaluating teacher competencies.
