Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to reform India's education system by introducing progressive changes. However, its success depends on stakeholder awareness and acceptance. This study investigates parental awareness and perception of NEP-2020, given that parents play a crucial role in their children's education. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from 300 parents through a structured survey. The findings reveal a low level of awareness and mixed perceptions regarding the policy. The study suggests targeted awareness programs and parental engagement initiatives for effective policy implementation.
