Teachers’ career ladder policy in Ethiopia: an opportunity for professional growth or “a stick disguised as a carrot?”     

Abebayehu A. Tekleselassie 《International Journal of Educational Development》2005,25(6):281-636

In response to the ever-declining status of the teaching profession, and its adverse effects on the country's educational system, the Federal Ministry of Education in Ethiopia introduced a policy of the teachers’ career ladder in 1994. While reformers believe that the introduction of the policy has improved the condition of the teaching profession, the net gains of the policy remain deceptive and even, in part, reduce some of the benefits teachers used to enjoy in the single salary scheme in the past. Among other things, central to the claims of the policy's advocates stands an improved salary scale for teachers. While this was admittedly true by the time the policy was introduced, the gain in salary raise has gradually been lost to the bureaucratic hurdles and watchdog structures erected to screen teachers’ eligibility at each stage of the career ladder. After critically assessing the major aspects of the policy, along with the voices of Ethiopian teachers, the current study argues that the policy of the teachers’ career ladder in Ethiopia is another prototypical case of a failed experiment both in terms of improving the lives of teachers and maintaining their professional rights.  相似文献

中西方学术权力差异辨析     

何淑通 《扬州大学学报(高教研究版)》2011,15(5):21-25

学术权力是近年来我国高等教育理论界和实践界关注的焦点之一。中西方学者在进行学术权力的理论研究时,在概念内涵的界定、研究目的和学科视角三个方面存在明显的不同。在学术权力的实际运行中,中西方在学术权力所依存的组织性质、所处的制度环境和支撑学术权力运行的文化传统三个方面存在差别。这对我们的启示有三：要以大学自治与学术自由作为培育学术权力的基石;要注意运用多学科视角开展学术权力的理论研究;要从系统的观点出发进行大学的改革,从而彰显学术权力。  相似文献

李响 《扬州大学学报(高教研究版)》2011,15(6):8-12

在落实高校办学自主权过程中,我国政府和高校对其权力边界认识模糊,导致权力失衡,使得我国高校办学自主权的落实陷入困境。把握权力边界,以法律手段明确办学自主权的边界,政府在其权力边界内行使行政权力,高校内部形成以学术权力为主导的权力结构,是落实办学自主权的出路所在。  相似文献
