Some of it affect the students, and some affect the faculty. <BR/><BR/>I have been harping for quite sometime on the lack of well qualified faculty in engineering colleges (particularly, the private ones), mainly because it hits the students really badly. In this day and age, when students at the higher secondary (plus two) level have teachers who have postgraduate degrees in science or arts, it is a crime to have UG degree holders turning around to teach their juniors. <BR/><BR/>You bring up another related problem: loading faculty with too much of teaching. I agree that 20 hours per week at the college level would break any teacher's soul. The solution is also contained -- sort of -- in your comment: adequate faculty strength. <BR/><BR/>In this post, what I have addressed is not just the numbers, but quality of faculty. Sure, we have UG degree holders teaching their juniors; but we can at least help them teach better by providing them better training, proper teaching materials and aids. Don't you think agencies like NASSCOM should be working (or, at least demanding) these things?Abihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790560045313883673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-1134031411550852122005-12-08T14:13:00.000+05:302005-12-08T14:13:00.000+05:30Abi, I feel many Indian educational institutions c...Abi, I feel many Indian educational institutions cannot retain qualified faculty members because of the shabby work environment they provide. <BR/><BR/>I wonder why media always harps upon lack of faculty memerbs and not on the way these grossly mismanaged institutions function. Imagine an institute asking you to teach 20 hours a week! Will they every be able to retain you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
