(3) The Basic Guidelines for the Reform of Higher Education
5. The Organizational Separation of Teaching and Research
In order to achieve a balance between the teaching and research
activities of the faculty in institutions of higher education, the structure
of the teaching body should be reformed into one carrying out education for students.
At the same time, all teachers should be provided with an environment conductive
to research, in accordance with the arms and characteristics of the institutions.
For this purpose, in institutions of Categories IV and V (graduate schools and
research centers), it is desirable to separate the teaching and research organizations
and to develop each of them in a rational fashion. It is necessary to clarify
teachers' responsibilities for each area, and thus to establish co-operation
between teaching and research organizations having independent alms and objectives.
