What can you do to ensure that the teaching talent is equally distributed among the private and state universities? And that all the good teachers do not shift to the private universities?
It’s a market system. In developing countries Universities tend to cater more to the elite Doctor/Lawyer/Engineer track, while Private Universities “are found at the lower end of the prestige hierarchy in Asia (International Higher Education).” For one thing, Mahangu’s Western Civilization prof isn’t going to be lured by a Vocational College. As I tried to address in the FAQs, “Private Universities tend to go for the mass market and end up closer to Technical Colleges than Universities (cause that’s where the money is).” The courses need to produce graduates who can get jobs and pay back their loans, which means a lot of IT, Business, and Tourism type courses. Or to summarize, they’re peeing in seperate pools.
