A Roadmap for Autonomy of Colleges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the Area of Academic and Evolution

Abstract

In this research work, our aim is to explore the need and area in which colleges should be given autonomy so that the role of colleges in higher education can increase in terms of quality education. One fifty teachers (seventy five male and seventy five male) from thirty cluster colleges were chosen randomly from a population of 1500 teachers. Data was collected through a questionnaire developed by researchers. We analyzed the data using a statistical approach, calculating frequencies and percentages. The results show that a vast majority of college teachers are in favor of academic and evaluation autonomy. It follows that autonomy for colleges in the areas of academic and evaluation is required to help improve the quality of higher education. After the detailed analysis of the statistical data and keeping in view all the educational policies, the comprehensive work plan for the establishment of autonomous colleges is proposed.
