Letters to the Editor
Sir, — The article "Higher education in India" (April 12) was thought provoking. Our university system indeed needs to become globally competitive. For this, it should provide the environment for qualitative research.
R. Vijila,
Sir, — It is obvious to everyone that the standard of education in the technical institutes is declining. It has a lot to do with poor teaching standards. An IIT graduate gets anywhere between Rs. 3 lakhs and 10 lakhs per annum after passing out while a teacher gets an average of Rs. 3.5 lakhs after working for 10-15 years. So talented people do not opt for the teaching profession because an institute cannot afford to pay such a high salary. The lack of good-quality teachers results in poor quality of teaching, which in turn gives rise to poorly trained students. At this rate, in a decade or so, the nation will face a serious academic crisis.
Manab Medhi,
Sir, — Should India not invest in at least a dozen research universities instead of sending a spaceship to the moon? Otherwise, it will continue to be a leading exporter of best brains.
R. Ganesan,
