Faculty
The real strength of the institution lies in its strong team of highly qualified, competent, dedicated and committed faculty who constantly endeavor to upgrade and update their knowledge, skills and qualifications. The management has been very supportive and has encouraged the faculty to pursue research and participate in seminars, workshops, and symposiums at the state, national and international levels.
Teachers who wish to pursue research are granted two years'paid leave. Financial awards are announced for those who publish research papers in standard National and International Journals. Many departments like Commerce, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Social Work have taken up research projects in collaboration with external agencies.
Teaching
Teachers at St Francis believe that learning does not begin and end in the class room. In addition to conventional classroom sessions, a number of innovative methods supported by IT are applied to aid comprehension and learning. Role plays, presentations and specific skill tests are used to test different aspects of learning. Use of projectors for visual display is common. In addition, guest lectures by experts emphasize the relevance of what is taught in the classroom.
