The Indian academic profession is a large and diverse group with more than 50% teaching
exclusively at the school level. Academics everywhere are conservative when it comes to
institutional change and have generally opposed reform. In almost every country and in almost
every historical circumstance the fraternity has opposed change in institutions (Andre Batellie
[1990] chitins and Philip. G., Altbach (1979), (The Indian Academic Profession, Macmillan,
New Delhi). The Indian academic fraternity is no exception to this rule and as a result has been a
significant stumbling block to reform. The profession has traditionally been very much
concerned with economic security even though many academics now earn salaries which place
them firmly in the Indian middle class. There is none the less a sense of insecurity and a
powerful, often autocratic academic administration. While many teachers work to the best of
their abilities and some institutions manage to engender a sense of commitment. In general the
teaching community has little feeling of autonomy.
