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.

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
8-1-11 appointment proved to be of substance.
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.
8-1-11

Data 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
8-1-11
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:
1. 70% and above: High perception
2. 60%- 69%
3. 51%- 59%
4. 60% -100%
5. Below 50%

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
8-1-11
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.

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 courselack of employable skill
8-1-11
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.
8-1-11
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.

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.
