Government support for higher education in East Asia is high and there has been rapid expansion in this sector. But, as demand for access to postsecondary opportunities has grown, it has outstripped the supply of qualified college and university personnel. Weak instruction and inadequate infrastructure has led to poor quality. Meanwhile, instructors are being asked to teach larger classes, do more research, teach across a broader range of abilities, take on more responsibilities even as they hold second jobs to make ends meet, and ensure that graduates have more relevant, higher quality job skills when they graduate. Solutions vary by country, but the paper surveys the size and composition of the faculty across East Asia, how they are trained and recruited, their conditions of employment, and evidence of their effectiveness. The paper concludes with strategies for recruiting, compensating, supporting, and evaluating college and university instructional staff.
