Academic path to lecturers' pay rise

PUTRAJAYA: Lecturers at public higher learning institutions and teaching institutions can look forward to reaching the highest salary grade without having to hold administrative posts following a government study on their service scheme. 

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said instead of being based on administrative post advancement, the new scheme will take into account the experience and knowledge of the academicians.

"A special mechanism will be implemented at the national level and it will involve a peer review system to ensure that a fair reviewing process can be achieved in promoting lecturers," he told the 11th Civil Service Premier Gathering at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre here yesterday.

He said the move would also enable higher learning institutions to be staffed with the best.
