Introduction:
This project intends to introduce a new evaluation metric that a Doctorate of Philosophy has to
pass in order to instruct undergraduate courses in universities of Pakistan.
A teacher is an individual whose influence goes beyond the bounds of a classroom. He or she is
the one to grant developmental perspective to the students. Being a role model for students a
teacher has the dire responsibility to mutually work with students to pave way for a successful
life.
Undergraduates are one of the most important assets of a country especially a developing
country like Pakistan. At this point students are in the phase of their life where the brain works
most effective. The stronger are the concepts, the greater is the zeal to develop new concepts,
invent new things, hence a major role in development and stability of the country.
Undergraduate course is the base of any career, hence it must be passed without any doubts
and misconceptions in order to apply the knowledge in practical life.
Though a Doctorate of Philosophy has gained a lot of knowledge throughout his life, it’s not
necessary that he/she has the ability to convey the knowledge to his students. Although he can
be a very good researcher, it’s not necessary that a good researcher is a good teacher.
Due to large number of complaints by undergraduate students about their teachers, the
investigating team tends to introduce an evaluation metric which a Doctorate will have pass in
order to attain his/her teacher license.

Statement of Problems:
Universities of Pakistan have always provided a platform where students are allowed to grow
and come out of their shells. The goal of these Institutes is to ensure the best standard of
education and diminish the gap between students and teachers so that they can interact and go
beyond the typical lectures representing a deeper level of thinking. Most of the students who
come to these universities depend entirely on the teacher trusting their knowledge and
expertise.
However, most of the instructors at these institutes are doctorate of philosophy who after
going so deep in a higher level of education are estranged to the basic level of education
comprehensible for a Bachelor’s student. A survey was taken from students of GIK Institute to
investigate the problems they face due to this dillemma. Students were asked to keep in mind
3
their favorite teacher and answer the questionaire accordingly. 68% of students thought that
interaction with a teacher was the foundation of a student teacher relationship.The survey
revealed that the increasing number of researches was increasing the communication gap
between students. It was concluded that inspite of having such qualified instructors 73% of the
students resort to online videos.
Coming into the profession of teaching without a foundation results in problematic conveying
of knowledge consequently decreasing the standard of education of these institutes. This in
turn hinders students’ academic prowess demoralizing the students to such extent that even
the diligent students aquiring a casual attitude just like that of any other typical student. This
has ultimately lead to students seeking other options for learning which effects the credibility
of these universities.

Objectives:
The objectives of the plan are as following:
! Introducing a new evaluation test for the doctors of philosophy adopting teaching
profession and establishing a better education system in the universities.
! Ensuring the diploma to be awarded on merit basis consequently making certain that no
teacher receives the diploma through unfair means.
! Guaranteeing the uniformity in professional attitude and behaviour of the teacher hence
student’s learning capabilities are not adversely affected by provided learning
environment.
! Making the diploma a compulsion thus surety of passion and aptitude of teacher is
guaranteed.
! Making sure that the diploma helps in the reduction of communication gap between
teacher and students.
! Making sure that the diploma ensures the alleviation of education standards on university
level.

Plan of Action:

section by proposing a 2-year plan of creating an evaluation system for PHDs in Pakistan before
getting a license of teaching.

Course cost

The license fee for the convened examination matrix is 11000 PKR, while that of the biannual
tests scheduled at the PTE office will be 6500 PKR. Similarly, the course fee would lie between
4000-6000 PKR, but the fee package is flexible to any changes in the long term. Though, the
organization is non profitable, but it will generate a revenue of 15 hundred thousand PKR
according to an assumption based on an article by Daily Times that the number of PhD’s in
Pakistan annually is 6700, while that who opt for teaching profession are more than 63%.
25350000 PKR
Total revenue 1500000 PKR
Annual budget 23850000 PKR

Thus, the annual budget required from HEC to the organization is 23,850,000, which can be
achieved if the government increments the annual HEC budget by 0.195%, and make it from
102.5 billion to 102.7 billion.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the primary of goal of this project is to ensure that there should be no
communication gaps between the students and the teachers, so that the undergraduates don’t
resort to others ways of learning and that the quality of teaching is maintained in the
institute/university. Furthermore, the project ensures to outlay the fact that teaching is not the
name of knowledge that a teacher has, but rather is a very rare art.
With steps such as going through an evaluation test of the teaching methods of the Doctorate
of Philosophy can assure the minimization of the communication gap, whilst a quality
evaluation makes sure that no biased license has been granted.
The initiation of this project is to begin on the 15th of April, 2019 and surely it will redeem the
future of the undergraduates lying in the hands of their teachers.
