NEP 2020 places a strong emphasis on the professional development of science teachers to improve teaching methodologies and subject expertise. This includes regular training programs, workshops, and opportunities for teachers to engage with the latest developments in their field. The policy also encourages the use of innovative teaching methods and technologies to make science education more engaging and effective.
The policy aims to cultivate a research mind set among students through project-based learning and exposure to scientific methodologies. This approach encourages students to ask questions, formulate hypotheses, conduct experiments, and draw conclusions based on evidence. By engaging in research projects from an early age, students develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of the scientific process.
