Rapid global changes have resulted in vast changes in education. In small nation-states which do not have natural resources to depend on, the training of a skilled and diverse workforce for economic development is essential for their survival. In addition, there is pressure to keep up with global developments. This impacts educational changes in all educational institutions. Such educational changes have a deep impact on academics.Much pressure is placed on the teaching staff to make adjustments to their curriculum and teaching. Sometimes,they may resort to making superficial changes and they may not be able to adapt fast enough. Furthermore, we cannot assume the planned curriculum change will be translated directly into practice. Thus, there is a need to study teaching staff's perception and adaptations to educational change.
