The Perfect Boss . . ..Pages

The Perfect Boss . . .

There were about 70 scientists working on a very hectic project. All of them were really
frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal
to him and did not think of quitting the job.

One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.

His boss replied “OK, You’re permitted to leave the office early today”

The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 PM.

Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children.

Incompetent, unproductive, inefficient… educational product.Pages

Our (Indian) Higher Education is in crisis.

Do we agree?

DOWNERS!
British Aerospace recently threatened to establish its own university in the UK because it couldn’r find enough engineering graduates who were up to its standards.

So are coments from Infosys and many others…

UPPERS!
Economic growth has increased the returns to education dramatically enough to set off a mad scramble to acquire education. Even the poorest rural households have internalized the imperative of acquiring education to survive in the new knowledge-based economy.
What the public doesn’t understand is that colleges help society as a whole, and that more people benefit than the graduates themselves.

CRISIS!
Oh! where is the crisis?
href=”http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2005/04/07/trust”>“The public doesn’t see higher education in crisis., Some of us may see that, but the public isn’t convinced of that, and even if they were, the public isn’t ready to take on yet one more crisis,” with Iraq and other issues already center stage, Ikenberry said. “The public may well be in crisis overload.”

But getting this education is, unfortunately, not always easy.
Public education is supposedly universally available but it is largely dysfunctional—teachers often don’t turn up to class, and when they do, they impart little of value to students.

Who else is in crisis?
Ethiopian Higher Education in Crisis1
Education in Malysia: Higher Education in Crisis , Even Education in Australia: Declining Quality? at this blog

American higher education in crisis and if so, what kind? What should we, as its leaders and representatives, be doing about it? …

Are we still loosing base?
Can the teachers do something?
Does the onus lie on Society?
Are students themselves partly responsible?

What can we do to abate/ rectify?

‘World Class’…….Pages

Defining a ‘world class’…. has been a crazy idea.

A simple business Definition is:
Goods, services, and processes that are ranked by customers and industry-experts to be among the best of the best. This designation denotes standard-setting excellence in terms of design, performance, quality, and customer satisfaction and value when compared with all similar items from anywhere in the world.
better still:
• A general term for a high level of competitive performance as defined by benchmarking and use of best practices.
)bridgefieldgroup.com/bridgefieldgroup/glos10.htm _
• organizations that are recognized as the best for at least one critical business process and are held as models for other organizations.
(www.gao.gov/special.pubs/bprag/bprgloss.htm)

A definition is elusive, but c*.* still strive for it
