THE BUREAUCRACY BULLDOZER AT WORK:
What needs to be done?
Government should endorse education because it is good, not because it is prepared to run the gambit of bureaucrats.
Increase emphasis on quality education, decrease emphasis on accreditation. This means decrease paperwork and restrictions.
Audit less, teach more. Cap bureaucratic spending (incl. auditing) at 10% of what is spent on course delivery.
Reduce bureaucracy.
Teachers should be qualified and experienced in the discipline they deal with –and only then, given the the opportunity to educate in that particular area.
Bureaucrats/Auditors should be both qualified and experienced in relevant disciplines, before being able to make decisions on courses and requirements.
Embrace diverse, new and innovative approaches to education such as experiential learning, problem based learning, online & distance education etc.
