Hi Rajesh, I suppose about five years back (in 2004), you had an opportunity to be a teacher in one of the affiliated colleges here at DU. I'm not exactly aware of the fact whether you finally joined it or not but since that time, many things have undergone a drastic change in DU. As a part of internal assessment of the students, which comprises the continuing evaluation of the students by awarding marks on the basis of their assignments / project work / their attendance / the mid term exam (Pre-university tests), which requires a deep involvement of every teacher who is a part of any college of DU. Moreover, most of the college administrations are washing their hands when it comes to keeping records of every student in terms of their attendance and final calculation which in itself is a rigorous activity. However, in this connection I'm slightly fortunate enough to be using an automated software installed by my college which does all your calculation automatically but 99% of the DU colleges do not have this kind of system, and even in this also, quite often earlier I found some discrepancy between the automated calculation and the calculation that I did over my computer using excel, however this mistake has now been rectified by the college authorities after having been brought to the notice by me. Further, one must also take into account that the duration of a college period is longer than a school period (55Mins ( in my case. There's also been a fundamental difference in the methodology of teaching in both types of institutions, so one cannot say by simply highlighting the number of periods that one takes. Therefore, without going into the realities, the work done by the college/university teachers should not be underestimated. Let me add one more thing in connection with my university, from next year onwards, the service conditions are going to be more rigorous and comprehensive with the coming into force of new service conditions by the UGC and the implementation of the semester system for all under-graduation courses. Finally indeed, it would ultimately depend upon the will power of a particular individual as to how he/she would like to present him/her at the work place. I heard few years back, and this is true to the best of my knowledge, that a couple of teachers in the Delhi Administration Schools (I wouldn't like to name them) who seem to have entered into an atrocious contract whereby they were not supposed to report to the school authorities everyday and in exchange to this they contributed a sum of amount of a money to the administration. It is not only however about the school, even when it comes to the college teaching, I know many teachers (not necessarily visually handicapped) who would award relatively good marks to the students and they practically never take classes seriously. So dear friends, finally it is your inner sense and faith which would decide how you would like to take things when they come to you.

Well, I know that workload in universities and colleges is not more than sixteen lectures per week. So, rakesh's contention about two-three lectures per day seems justified. I am not sure about class strength, though. Besides, unlike schools, college teaching, they say, lasts, at least practically, from jhanda to Jhanda, i.e. from Independence day to republic day. Smile. At any rate, for VI school teaching is more demanding in form of correcting notebooks assignments duration and making children assimilate learning, Me thinks.

Please correct your facts and don't unnecessarily over-fascinate the college teaching, it is equally challenging in terms of managing and organising classes and other activities.

I am not viewing so same for defending my personal point, it is based on my personal working experience of about 20 years in different 12 or 13 Govt schools, in where, I have taught. Mostly, in college, a lecturer / professor takes hardly two or three periods in a day and strength of students is not more than 30 per class. If road connectivity between two or three buildings are good and under reach of VH employees nothing is possible. But, in my present school, Principal office is in first building in where, every must has to present personally at the time of arrival and departure. Due to having vacant first period of each VH employee, all VH employees must had to go common staff room in first period. My 2nd, 3rd and 4th periods were in 2nd building, 5th and 6th periods were in third building, 7th period was in again 2nd building and in 8th period, I had to go in common staff room and then, at the end, I had to report principal office in 1st building at the departure time. This was the regular routine in whole last cession of 2008-2009 which was obviously very tidy for me. Regards, Rakesh. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shyam M.
