Abstract

The study undertaken here aims to explore the viewpoint of educators teaching at school and college level regarding the National Education Policy. The research identifies key themes emerging from teacher perceptions, including willingness to change, professional development requirements, administration requirements, benefits of NEP and the role of technology in the classroom. The data for the study is collected from 200 educators in Ahmedabad through Google Forms using two stage sampling method. Analysis of the collected data is done using SPSS. Other techniques like Factor analysis, Sentiment analysis and chi-square tests are also used to test the hypothesis. The findings of the study depict that the educators show a positive attitude and readiness to adapt to the NEP, but significant challenges must be addressed for effective implementation. Key steps include boosting awareness, enhancing preparedness, facilitating training and professional development, tackling institutional and student-related issues, and leveraging recognized benefits. Ensuring these measures will facilitate successful NEP adoption and impact in education. Ā
