Introduction
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a pivotal moment in the transformation of India’s educational landscape, with a strong focus on creating a holistic, inclusive, and flexible system that addresses the needs of 21st-century learners. Central to the successful realization of the NEP’s vision is the role of teachers, who are not only tasked with imparting academic knowledge but also with fostering the overall development of students. For this to happen, teacher education programs must evolve to align with NEP 2020’s vision of holistic education—one that emphasizes cognitive, emotional, social, and ethical development.
This study proposes an exploration of the necessary steps and strategies for bridging the gap between traditional teacher education practices and the more progressive, learner-centered approaches championed by NEP 2020. By aligning teacher education with NEP 2020’s goals, we can better equip educators to prepare students for a rapidly changing, complex world.
