Abstract:
The Annual Confidential Report is a government document and is
used by all government departments. The document is used for all
employees of Grade 16 and above. The same document is used for the
teaching staff as well. The inefficiency of the document to present an
appropriate appraisal of scholarship characteristics of the higher education
academic staff is evident. This study will focus on identifying various factors
that ought to be assessed to provide information about the performance of
the teaching staff and help formulate an effective format to achieve the
objectives of appraisal.
