Summary
Faculty are maneuvers of the education system. The strength of an educational system largely depends upon the competence and performance of the faculty. The quality of a faculty is a major criterion for offering quality education. A faculty has always been considered as one of the noblest human beings and as the second parent of students. It has been proved that the faculty has an important influence on students’ academic achievement (Perera and Quinlivan, 2013) and play a crucial role in educational attainment, as the faculty is responsible for translating policy into action.
