Quality is, to use Raymond Williams’s term, a 'key word' in the public domain. It is related to performance standards and output. The question arises why quality is important. Is it to enhance student learning? Is it for increased output? Is it related to faculty development? or is it related to all?
The pivotal nature of quality management in relation to lifelong learning is internationally recognized now. Quality management involves questions about why & how well the purposes of an educational organization are being achieved. In an educational setting this might involve looking closely at how to improve learning or management policies and administrative processes. The processes of quality management may include review, assessment, evaluation and feedback.
