Country’s newly-established public universities are facing a teacher crisis and operating without the required number of qualified teachers which is needed to impart quality higher education.
Academic activities at these institutions are being seriously hampered as their authorities have appointed only a few lecturers and hired some senior teachers and professionals as guest teachers to continue the education.
Educationists said such newly-established universities would deliver little results unless a sufficient number of qualified teachers are ensured at these universities.
Talking to the Daily Sun, educationist Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique said, “Qualified teachers like professors and associate professors are needed for universities to ensure quality higher education but the newly-established universities are facing the crisis due to lack of enough senior teachers in the country.”
