The implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) in schools is a significant step towards transforming the education landscape in India. This study aims to assess the awareness of NEP-2020 among in-service teachers and also investigates the challenges, and opportunities associated with the implementation of the NEP-2020 among in-service teachers in schools across Delhi NCR. A descriptive survey research approach was used to gather empirical data from 72 in-service teachers. Participants were randomly selected from schools across Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), representing a diverse range of teaching backgrounds and experiences. The findings of the study indicate that while the majority of teachers are familiar with NEP 2020, their understanding of its key components varied. Holistic education, multidisciplinary approaches, assessment and evaluation reforms emerged as the most recognized aspects of NEP 2020 among the participants. The study highlights both challenges and opportunities arising from the implementation of NEP-2020 in schools. Teachers expressed concerns regarding the lack of resources, resistance to change among stakeholders, and difficulties in curriculum adaptation. However, they also identified opportunities for professional growth, including enhanced training programs, collaborative learning initiatives, and the incorporation of new teaching methodologies. The study suggests the need for resources, teacher training programs, and supportive policies, to facilitate a smoother transition towards NEP 2020 objectives in schools across Delhi NCR.

NEP-2020, in-service teachers, multidisciplinary approach, assessment and evaluation reforms, holistic education.
