MUCH has been said about the areas that we need to reform in order to improve the quality of our education system. Perhaps one thing that we could also do is encourage a healthy work-life balance among academics.
Recently, we, early career academics at a public university, were invited to attend a special meeting with a professor who spoke about the university’s research ideals and the way forward. Among other matters, he revealed that he has, and will continue to have, a full schedule until mid-next year with teaching, research, surgeries (he is a top surgeon in the country), community engagements and the university’s flagship project.
