Promoting quality academic research in sciences

A recent national policy allowing researchers in the sciences and college teachers to take up part-time jobs in a "modest way" according to the laws and regulations has raised public concern.

How to have a part-time job in a "modest way" that does not influence the academic work of teachers and researchers is crucial for the implementation of this new policy. To ensure the new policy promotes better use of knowledge, there is need for an effective support mechanism and reform of the existing modern school and research systems. Management and evaluation of researchers and college teachers should be focused on academic work. It should not be dominated by administrative and other factors, because that could undermine the value of knowledge.

The most important thing is to establish a scientific examination and evaluation system for researchers and college teachers. To be eligible to have a part-time job, researchers and college teachers have to be good at their academic work.
