Besides, education contributes to the growth of national income and individual earning.While

The importance of knowledge is continuously growing and becoming assets that can be utilized

by a specific company or nation. Knowledge has become much more important than investment

capital, natural resources or technology as companies are metamorphosing from production

companies into knowledge creating companies. Higher education is perceived to be a key player

by the universities are prerequisites for economic development, particularly in emerging

continuous improvement and academic excellence. By investing in faculty growth through

workshops, mentoring and research support, institutions can enhance teaching quality improve
