Excellence In Teaching: A Crucial Component Of Nation Building

If we are to have an educated and competent youth, society and workforce over the next 25 years, here's the most important thing to do over the next 3-5 years:

Every college/university needs to carry out detailed checks for competence in classroom teaching and faculty members found below a certain benchmark need to be filtered out of our educational institutions.

I have nothing personal against anyone. Maybe some of those who are filtered out will do well in CSIR / DST / DAE labs, maybe in public sector companies, maybe in a corporate environment.

But if one is in an educational institution, the commitment (and competence) to educate has to take precedence over everything else. Else we are looking at a rather bleak scenario vis a vis how good we will be as a society in anything.
