Teacher's professionalism is a social construct that is defined through educational policy, practice, and standards. These are considered inevitable for developing professionalism. This paper discusses the role of National Education Policy (NEP) and National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPSTs) for the development of professionalism based on the views of experts who had direct experience with the process of formulation of NEP and NPSTs. Six experts; three associated with the preparation of NEP (2009) and three of NPSTs were interviewed through a semistructured interview consisting indicators of professionalism, conducted, recorded and transcribed. The analysis showed that while preparing NEP (2009) and NPSTs, teachers' professionalism was not considered in true spirit. They declared that there was no mutual coordination between NEP and NPSTs experts for the development of teacher's professionalism and was also not included onto the agenda. It is recommended that teacher professionalism may be focused while developing National Education Policies.
