Millenial generation teachers

Today's teacher meets the following challenges:

1. Highly knowledgeable students

2. Students from well-established families paying heavily for education

3. Students opposite to the above mentioned category

4. UGC's expectation of academic excellence in Paper presentations, journal publications etc.

5. Student's expectation of an interesting class room

6. Teaching in a foreign language that is almost first language to some, second language to some and strange language to many

7. Result analysis based on examination performance

8. Expectation from placement angle; spoken English; personality development etc.

9. Tackling the syllabus within a time-schedule

10. Never called for any meetings that decide the curriculum


Are we going to address these issues?

The teacher is overburdened. Many teachers have become thoroughly frustrated. Many have lost interest in teaching.

How are we planning to attract the best minds to the class room to teach?
