There still might be some people who believe that it is not effective for improving education in universities to spend money on salaries of university professors. However, I personally disagree with the above idea for two subsequent reasons : A motivation for professors and a Investment for the students’ environment.
To begin with, professors could attain the motivation from their salaries. If the money they get from the lecture increases, professors are able to concentrate on teaching their students. Then, students could attend well-established lecture by professors. On the other hand, in the case that not enough salaries are given to the professor, they should focus on other works for their daily life. For example, there was an professor when I was in the Hanyang University in South Korea. The university did not regularly pay salaries to the professor. This resulted in the situation that the professor worked in a laboratory which is out of campus. As people could guess, the quality of the lecture became worse. I learned from this problem that universities should pay enough to professors to insure the quality of education.
On top of that, if salaries for professors increase, professors also could improve other things for students. Increasing salaries means that professors have money to use on other components for their laboratory. Through the extra money, professor could invest equipments for laboratory or student’s salaries. This improves the environment for students to study in the universities. According to the survey done by KHM institute in South Korea, two-third of university professors responded that they raised money for students when their salaries increased. Students in the professors’ laboratory added that they could do research under a more fascinating condition.
In conclusion, professor could provide a nice quality of education by considering it into the incentive and develop the researching environment for students when salaries increase. In this regard, I strongly believe that expending money on salaries of university professors is a effective way for improving education in universities. |
