(3) The Basic Guidelines for the Reform of Higher Education
8. Improving the Employment of Teachers
Institutions of higher education should secure an adequate number
of teaching staff well qualified for the purpose and nature of the institution
and suitable for a position in either teaching or research. At the same time
institutions of higher education should improve their administration regarding
teaching staff. They should, that is, prevent that stagnation in teaching and
research which results from insularity; they should obtain me participation or
experts from outside the institution in the selection and evaluation of the performance
of the teaching staff; they should limit the time that one teacher can remain
in one particular position; they should also limit the number of teachers graduating
from any one university.
At the same time, teachers salaries and other conditions of
employment must be extensively improved in order for institutions of higher education
to attract a highly qualified staff and to make it easier to exchange personnel
with circles outside the institution. The improvement in the salary level should
also include devices to encourage teachers to make greater efforts for education.
