This investigation aims to decide the variables associated with choosing this field, their vocation inclinations, educational awareness, and knowledge of biotechnology. Methods:The study undertook at Debre Birhan University through a pre-approved questionnaire given to the students joined in the biotechnology department. A total of 220 students, 130 (60.46%) females, 85 (39.53%) males, and 5 (2.32%), failed to give their data. Students who were involved in this study gave their agreement to record their responses. Student replies were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the social sciences (SPSS) [version 20.0]. Results:Out of 220 Biotechnology students, 215 participants filled the questionnaire; therefore, the response rate was (97.72%). Of 215 respondents, 116 (53.95%) were not mindful of the scope of biotechnology before getting admission in the biotechnology program, 20 (9.30%) were interested in research. In contrast, 29 (13.48%) were either indifferent or indeterminate about their choices. Conclusion:Almost all participants, 186 (86.51%), we're able to seek a job in biotechnology after their graduation, and Personal curiosity was the prominent factor 139 (64.65%) included in the choice succeeded by status 31 (14.41%) and income 15 (6.97%) correspondingly

“…It was found that Pakistan is a developing country and faces many challenges, including a lack of resources, a rapidly growing population, and an education system in need of reform (Larik, 2021). These challenges have a significant impact on teachers' retention, as teachers are often the first to leave an institution due to a lack of job satisfaction or because they find other opportunities (Murtaza & Hui, 2021).…”

“…Additionally, Pakistan's rapidly growing population places even more strain on the education system. A lack of resources and an education system that needs reform will continue to be major factors in teacher retention in Pakistan (Murtaza & Hui, 2021;Moin & Hassan, 2021)…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of institutional climate on teachers’ retention mediated by transformational leadership. Methodology: A total of 230 participants were randomly selected from public sector educational institutions in Pakistan using a random sampling technique. The study used a quantitative research methodology. Institutional climate has been composed of four sub-variables including recognition of efforts, workplace incivility, career development, and reward management. The data was analyzed using statistical software (SPSS) Findings: The results of the study indicated that there was a significant relationship between institutional climate and teachers’ retention. The findings of the study showed that transformational leadership had a significant impact on teachers’ retention. There has also been identified that there is an existence of mediation in the model which indicates that transformational leadership mediates the relationship between institutional climate and teachers’ retention at public sector universities in Pakistan. Conclusion: The study concludes and recommends that the government should take steps to improve the institutional climate to retain talented teachers. Practical Implications: Teachers' retention is a concern for educational institutions. The findings of this study suggest that leaders who create a supportive and stimulating environment for their employees are more likely to retain them. Leaders can use this information to cultivate a culture of innovation and creativity in their institutions, which in turn, would help to improve teacher retention.

“…First, teaching performance (TP) is comprised of outputs related to teaching and learning goals for higher education systems (Agasisti & Bertoletti, 2019). TP is one of the problem areas in the Pakistani HE context due to several reasons including inappropriate/old content, lack of latest knowledge, poor teaching methods, poor learning skills, poor evaluation systems, the superficial teacher recruitment process with political interference (Banuri, 2021;Murtaza & Hui, 2021); disciplinary problems among students, academic scams by teachers, shorter working days (Hoodbhoy, 2009); and lack of faculty members with PhDs (Hoodbhoy, 2009;Murtaza & Hui, 2021).…”

The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to gain insight into the direct effect of accreditation on motivation and higher education performance, and the direct effect of motivation on higher education performance. Second, to examine the indirect effect of accreditation on higher education performance through motivation in the university setting. The study uses a quantitative research approach and collects data from administrative managers at 105 Pakistani universities through face-to-face and online survey methods, and the said data is subsequently analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings reveal that accreditation has a substantial effect on motivation and higher education performance, and motivation has a considerable effect on higher education performance. Also, accreditation has an indirect effect on higher education performance through motivation. The study contributes empirically by examining the effects of accreditation on motivation and higher education performance and broadens theoretical understanding by introducing motivation as a mediator related to accreditation and higher education performance. Policymakers, administrators, and quality managers can leverage the findings of this study by motivating their academic staff to effectively implement accreditation standards. Furthermore, operationalizing higher education performance through teaching, research, and service will assist policymakers in bringing excellence to their universities by emphasizing these three roles/missions equally.
