Universities need qualified personnel

Letters

BEING taught by professors and doctors at universities is the right approach to train students to meet standard criterion in order to obtain qualifications.
This has been the practice for centuries.
The State is the leading facilitator of human integral development, so it should have the most standardised education system, which will positively impact our nation’s growth.
Prior to contemporary societies, the responsible academic educators were appointed on merit.
They have undergone the system and passed the standards already.
Therefore, they have the capabilities to analyse any situation in many dimensions.
The number of available qualified lecturers in the country is decreasing due to the lack of job relevance, an empowering environment and issues with salaries.
Lecturers perceive their obligations as a means to survive in this society.
They know how to handle workload when it comes to assessments.
Student tutors, with less experience and skills, overreact as they portray hostility, arrogance and unreliability.
They are controlled by their emotions.
Tutors sometimes take sides with students.
Some tutors end up teaching their former colleagues, so they deliberately attempt to fail them.
On many occasions, they expect students to perform up to their expectations.
This is an illogical perception as not all students think alike.
They rarely do things by the books when dealing with the lives of students.
The world is unfair and not everyone is privileged.
Many students work hard to pay their tuition and resources.
The more the tutors compete with the students, the more bad academic standards turn out to be.
Their conduct not only discourages students, but it undermines their intelligence as well.
The State universities throughout the country should not have complications with its academic staff.
There are myriad elites in the country and abroad.
PNG should have masters and PhD holders at universities as tutors and lecturers.
