I also understand about the race issue and I'm not in the privilege group. So my chances to get in IPTA is low. For IPTS, the teaching hours are at least 20 hours per week and yes you're right, they focus on teaching and they prefer to hire lecturers with teaching/industrial experiences. Lecturer in IPTA need to lecture, do research as well as involve in admin work.

What kind of incentives you're referring about?. For IPTA, I can get scholarship (not student loan) or sponsorship that cover the semester fee, exam fees and monthly allowances. Like my master's degree, the fees are fully covered by the uni.

I think you are mis-informed here. In a full university status IPTS (let's not talk about colleges or uni-colleges) the teaching hours per week is considerably lesser than 20 hours. I would say average about 8-12 hours, and that includes lab supervision.

Oh really? That means the teaching hours between public and private is more or less the same. How about research?

If you are hardworking, you can focus all the non-teaching hours to research. Less admin duties if you dont hold high posts. Downside is, some may find the comfort zone too cozy.
