Teacher Readiness for Implementation of NEP 2020 in Teacher Education Institutions

Abstract The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) has manifested a revolutionary vision of Indian education system, and teacher education is at the heart of this application. The policy focuses on multidisciplinary learning, a 4-year integrated B.Ed. course, competency-based pedagogy, inclusion practices, online learning, and lifelong learning. In this regard, the teacher readiness has become one of the critical factors of how easily the policy can be implemented in the teacher education institutions. The paper focuses on the teacher preparedness in the implementation of NEP 2020 through policy provisions, literature, and requirements of the institution. The teacher readiness is considered a multidimensional concept, which incorporates policy awareness, pedagogical preparedness, technological competence, assessment literacy, professional commitment and institutional support. The study posits that preparation is not merely a personal attribute of teacher educators, but also an institutional status that is determined by a leader, infrastructure, and professional learning provisions. The paper constructs a conceptual model and proposes a descriptive survey research design to measure the readiness in teacher education institutions. It also outlines major obstacles, including a lack of awareness, being digital illiterate, interdisciplinary disjunction, and institutional imbalance. Meanwhile, the paper identifies enabling factors, including high-quality professional development systems, teacher growth based on standards, curriculum redesign, and positive academic culture. The conclusion of the study is that teacher readiness bridges the policy-practice gap through operation. The vision of NEP 2020 might be partially realised unless teacher education institutions make the conscious investment towards preparing faculty members to these reforms. Thus, teacher preparation must be viewed as a strategic issue in the attainment of fruitful change in teacher training in India.
