Wow, that's a nice write up about lecturer's salary in Malaysia. But I heard rumors saying that lecturers in private institutions earn better than their counterparts working in public institutions. Well, is that true?
Basically what are the responsibilities of a lecturer like you? Doing research and publishing papers besides lecturing? Just wanna compare the job scope of our local lecturers with those in other countries.
Of course the private sector earns more than the government employees Basically what are the responsibilities of a lecturer like you? Doing research and publishing papers besides lecturing? Just wanna compare the job scope of our local lecturers with those in other countries.
private institutions salary is more flexible and is based on profit, more profit more salary and you have to work really hard to earn it
public institution salary are determined by the government, all fixed according to the pekeliling and you rarely ever get any bonus too
As for the responsibilities, there are differences between universities, polytechnics and community colleges under KPTM. But still the common ones are giving out lectures, prepare documentations and doing continuous research and innovation.
I am a lecturer in Community College and here in CC, our focus is on the community so we are also responsible in holding out various types of short courses for the community regardless of their age. Lifelong learning. So sometimes I have to work on Saturdays and Sundays too in order to teach or organize these short courses. Not only do we teach and organize these courses, we are also responsible to promote them and find the participants in order to achieve our targets.
Other than that.. there are mountains of other work, such as ensuring the student employability, making sure that every single students can get a job so we have to held out programs, courses and whatever it takes to get them ready for employment. There are also administration job and the scope of the job depends on your position. For example Pegawai Pengambilan Pelajar will be responsible for the student intake, Pegawai Hal Ehwal Pelajar will be responsible for welfare of the students and organizing student related activities and so on. I am currently the Pegawai Multimedia dan Sumber in my college and all the ICT stuffs in the college is under my responsibility from the networking to the computers, projectors, PABX and also the library, basically all the multimedia related jobs including the college website/portal, the college bulletins and others....
Owh and when there are events, we are also the ones that have to organize them such as the convocation ceremony, merdeka day celebration, open day events, career fair and etc..
If I list out all the responsibilities that we have it might just take forever and ever
basically we're the jack of all trades and giving out lectures to the students is actually a very small part of our responsibilities
