The Tamil Nadu Association of Intellectuals and Faculty (TAIF) has written to the Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudi, the University of Madras and the Director of College Education to appoint teachers to teach allied courses in private arts and science colleges.
Association secretary M. Govindarasan said private arts and science colleges make do with teachers who are teaching the main courses of BBA degree such as Commerce and Business Administration. This is impacting the students as they do not “acquire adequate academic knowledge,” Mr. Govindarasan said.
According to him, subjects such as Business Economics, Indian Economy, Managerial Economics and International Trade are taught by teachers with M.Com, MBE, MHRM or even MSc degrees in other subjects.
