given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
ee

The University Grant Commission's directive to college and University

lecturers to spend a minimum of 22 hours a week in direct teaching is the product
of budgetary cutbacks rather than pedagogic wisdom. It may seem odd, at first
blush, that teachers should protest about teaching a mere 22 hours. However, if
C
one considers the amount of time academics require to prepare to lectures of
good quality as well as the time they need to spend doing research, it is clear
Sr

that most conscientious teachers work more than 40 hours a week. In University
system around the world lecturers rarely spend more than 12 to 15 hours in
directing teaching activities a week. The average college lecturer in India does
not have any office space. If computers are available, internet connectivity is
unlikely. Libraries are poorly stocked. Now the UGC says universities must
implement a complete freeze on all permanent recruitment, abolish all posts
which have been vacant for more than a year, and cut staff strength by 10 per
cent. And it is an order to ensure that these cutbacks do not affect the quantum
C
of teaching that existing lecturers are being asked to work longer. Obviously, the
quality of teaching and academic work in general will decline. While it is true
that in some college teachers do not take their classes regularly, the UGC and
the institution __________must find a proper way to hold them accountable. A
absentee teacher will/A/ continue to play truant even/B/ if the number of
hours he is/C/ required to teach goes up./D/
All of us are well aware of the unsound state that the Indian higher education
system is in today. Thanks to years of sustained financial neglect, most Indian
universities and colleges do no research worth the name. Even as the number of
students entering colleges has increased dramatically, public investment in higher
education has actually declined in relative terms. Between 1985 and 1997, when
public expenditure on higher education as percentage of outlays on all levels of
education grew by more than 60 per cent in Malaysia and 20 per cent in Thailand,
India showed a decline of more than 10 percent. Throughout the world, the number
of teachers in higher education per million populations grew by more than 10 per
cent in the same period; in India it fell by one per cent. Instead of transferring
