The 21st century's first education strategy which seeks to solve our country's many rising
developmental imperatives. This Policy recommends that all facets of the education framework,
including its legislation and governance, be updated and redesigned to establish a modern
paradigm that is consistent with the aspiring aspirations of education in the 21st century,

emotional capacities and dispositions, both the “foundational capacities” of literacy and
numeracy and “higher-order” cognitive capacities, such as logical thought and problem solving.

CONCLUSION
In general, primary school teachers have low awareness of the New Education Policy (2020).
The awareness program must be organized by the state or central Government, at least for

development. But it is not correct we must make awareness for, particularly female teachers.
Additional than rural teachers are not interested to know about the new updates due to
location. Self-finance teachers have no way to interact with other peoples, so they have low
awareness; the state or central Government must organize awareness programs to make
conscious of the New Education Policy (2020) extremely.
