  1. “Impact Of Globalization On UGC Regulated Teacher Appointments In Higher Education Institutions - A Perception Study” Dr Snehal. S. Donde Principal, Public Night Degree College, Santacruz. (E) Mumbai- 400055

  2. Content • Understanding globalization • Introduction to impact of globalization on UGC regulations • Research analysis of fifth pay regulations on teacher appointments • Fifth pay regulation implications • Latest reforms- Sixth pay regulation • PBAS documentation

  3. WTO – GATS (1994) – Demands In Education • Demand for - new skills • Demand for - new knowledge • Demand for - new emotional strength • Changes in - the demand in employment Global demands for global education

  4. Quality agenda • Restructuration of HE into a system combined with a credit system for accumulation and transfer. • Teacher centered into student centered approach to teaching and learning. • Focus on research staff and graduates across.

  5. INTRODUCTION • Indian Higher Education has seen an unprecedented growth in last 60 years and it is one of the biggest higher education systems in the world today. • World over higher education is confronted with the challenges of Globalization, that is placing institutions all over in a similar state of transition. • In India, the UGC, a statutory body (UGC – established in 1953) plays a lead role in coordinating, determining and maintaining standards in Higher education. • UGC has taken cognizance of Globalization and its impending impact on Higher Education and accordingly arrived at regulations to meet the challenges of transition.

  6. BACKGROUND • The Indian education system has given a new image to India both internally and also at a global level. • The process of regulation formulation for quality education. (GAT, WTO, privatization and globalization are the external forces currently influencing the formulation of regulations) • In fifth pay an issue that grabbled education system was the Quality of faculties and lack of qualified/eligible teachers in higher education. • Teacher appointed at consolidated amount (contractual) for a period of 2 years.

  7. Aim and objective of the study • Aim- to study the perception of degree college teachers towards faculty appointment proposed by 5th pay commission. • Specific objective- monitoring and evaluating the regulation through perception of degree college teachers keeping in view: (a) Gender (Male/Female), (b) Experience (Junior (5-10 years)/Senior (>10 years)), (c) Discipline (Science/Non science i.e. commerce and arts), (d)Overall perception- (Considering a, b, c together). • This research work is an attempt, to find out the extent to which UGC regulation of teachers appointment proved to be of substance.

  8. Need of the study • A paradox of higher education in our country is that, we seem to be climbing the steps of a ladder without making sure of the foundation. • This study is an attempt to identify policy concepts of contractual/CHB (visiting) system in context of globalization and strategically plan and apply it for managing educational organization, with a view to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency and thus bring about a qualitative improvement in education system. • To ensure the right balance between control and exploratory.

  9. Methodology of the studyData collected from the teachers of degree college of Arts, science and commerce was analysed as follows: • Methodology- descriptive survey. • Sample used -160 teachers from 25 colleges in and around Mumbai were randomly selected. • Tool administered: A four point rating scale including 34 items. Informal interview schedule. • Technique of analysis: Percentage analysis and inferential techniques. • Test applied: ‘t’ test • Hypotheses was tested

  10. Cont--- • The comparison of perception towards the UGC regulations were studied in terms of percentage value. • The values obtained for each study were distributed into various groups to explain the perception level on the basis of following range: • 70% and above: High perception • 60%- 69% : Moderately high perception • 51%- 59% : Moderate perception • 60% -100% : Positively perceived • Below 50% : Low /Negatively perceived

  11. UGC's Sixth Pay Regulation GENDER-WISE DISTRIBUTION Male Female Jr N= 31 Sr N= 56 Sc N= 55 N.S N= 32 Jr N= 33 Sr N= 40 Sc N= 42 N.S N= 31 Contractual appt 68.5 (31) 71.9 (28) 71.0 (28) 70.8 (29) 64.2 (35) 74.0 (26) 71.7 (28) 69.6 (30) Table 1.Overall distribution of degree college teachers perception towards contractual/CHB basis appointments (Values in terms of percentage) N- no. of respondent, Jr- junior, Sr- Senior, Sc- science, NS- Non-science *Values in parentheses indicate the values considered for computing average, as the item under this area were worded negatively.

  13. Major findings of the study • Gender-wise (overall) the perception was similar and highly negative. • Experience-wise study revealed that seniors perceived highly negative than the juniors. • Discipline-wise Science faculty show marginally high negative perception than the non- science teachers. • Overall highly negative

  14. Cont--- Informal interview report low perception level reasons: 1.Teachers feel that though qualified, services are not not considered on par with their counterparts. 2. Deciding to make appointments contractual, to solve the problem of competitions faced by globalization, by adding an element of impermanence to the appointments, is not a solution. 3. ‘Quick-fix’ solutions will not solve problem. 4. Complicated the problem manifold. 5. Gravely affected teaching-learning process 6. CHB, use this opportunity as a stop gap arrangement (or for getting experience certificate) before getting a more promising one.7.Senior teachers are feeling the pinch of quality deterioration.

  15. Social Implications as observed by CHB • Dearth of providers, who are considered to be the building blocks in education. • Further alienating the best brains from teaching jobs, • Bringing the standards further down, • Lack of accountability and spirit of professionalism. • Efficiency and effectiveness in teaching job is reduced, • Few argue with the proposition that India need a new infusion of dynamic and committed faculty. • Psychological impact on young faculty. • Industry experience not consider for professional course-lack of employable skill

  16. Suggestions • A young, dynamic faculty is pre-requisite • to attract students, • Evolve code of conduct, judge teaching and • classes that are not conducted, • Higher Salary package than regular ones and • stringent monitoring rules (student’s appraisal report). • Contractual system for higher position also. • Bureaucracy must be minimized. • Stop treating faculty as hired labourers and allow them to be part of decision making and implementing machinery of the system. • The system must be modified to facilitate the recognition of talent and merit and create healthy competitive spirit. • Lack of commitment and dedication is spoiling the noble profession, provide Job security.

  17. Conclusion • The CHB/contractual appointment was introduced for resolving the teacher resource availability gap, in addition to maintaining standards and at the same time providing employment to aspiring entrants into the profession and to make young generation more conscious to deliver their best. • Initially this regulation was conceived as a savior for meeting teacher requirements and building quality in higher education institutions, however it has only caused turbulence, bringing down the quality of instruction.

  20. Conclusion:Unless some regulatory changes take place, it will not be possible to improve the quality and standard of education and further more, it will also not be possible to sustain and survive in this competitive world. It is necessary that the proposed change (regulations) is properly implemented and adopt measures that will make education attractive to others.
