A few excerpts from the article of Dr. Sabieh Anwar.
"The relationship between a teacher and a student has also changed from a spiritual guide and a disciple to that between a service provider and a client."
"imitative migration from the annual to semester system facilitates those who can score well and can keep up with the rapid pace of the semester; while the reflective, thoughtful individuals may be left behind"
"faculty promotion are quantitative and based on superficial metrics that can be easily gamed"
"The foremost element for the moral and cognitive development of students, especially graduate students, requires the teacher’s physical presence and intimate interaction. However, the overly regimented system has left little time in the teacher’s daily schedule to spend with students"
"Social media disrupts this silence time and again and converts solitude into a congregation. Information oozes out drop by drop from the vial of the internet; unable to quench the thirst of the soul"
