Recently, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has announced that PhD will not be a mandatory criterion to teach in central universities. New positions will be created - professor of practice and associate professor of practice.
UGC chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar stated, “There are many experts who want to teach. There could be someone who has implemented large projects and has a lot of on-the-ground experience, or there could be a great dancer or a musician. But we can’t appoint them according to the present rules.”
The proposal to remove PhD as the main requirement for teaching was discussed during a meeting of the central university vice-chancellors (VC) with UGC chairperson Jagadesh Kumar. It has also been proposed that the professionals will be eligible for teaching in universities without a Ph.D or NET qualification. The UGC will form a committee to look into how this can be done and it will submit its report, the authority said. There are also strategies to set up a portal that will act as a single point for those willing to apply to a university.
I am incredibly thankful to the guidance, support and learning I have received during the B.Ed. program. The comprehensive and informative course content and the valuable feedbacks during assignments has not only helped me to expand my knowledge, skills, and understanding about early childhood education but also made me confident to pursue a career in teaching.
My journey with EBU through the Doctorate in Business Management has been transformative. The program provided a comprehensive understanding of advanced business concepts, strategic management, and leadership techniques. Studying market dynamics in the tire industry in Kuwait has enhanced my ability to analyze competitive landscapes and make informed decisions. This has boosted my confidence in leading teams and navigating complex challenges. As I advance in my career, I’m eager to apply these skills to drive innovation and growth within my organization. I’m grateful for the enriching experience at EBU and look forward to making a positive impact in the industry.
As a graduate of the Master of Arts in Teaching degree program, my experience was transformative. The program gave me a deep understanding of educational theory, effective teaching strategies, and practical classroom management techniques. Through rigorous coursework and hands-on experiences, I developed the skills and knowledge necessary to create engaging and inclusive learning environments. The program also emphasized the importance of ongoing professional development and staying abreast of educational research. Overall, my Master's in Teaching degree has empowered me to make a meaningful impact on students' lives and shape the future of education.
A useful and practical course that did assist with my teaching and learning.
I had a great experience learning and pursuing Doctorate as I chose the subject that I am so much interested in. I enjoyed reading and learning from the course work. My mentor was throughout supporting and encouraging. I can't thank him enough for providing me the clarity for the research paper I submitted and for creating actionable goals for me.
