Quality in education

Quality concept:

The lexicon indicates that quality becomes something, it is good, and it is from the verb: serious and shred, i.e. it brought good from saying and doing. And the good of everything is bad, and it comes out of the meaning of accuracy, mastery, and charity. In the terminology, there is an assertion, no matter how many opinions, that quality means conforming to specific requirements or specifications. 


  • This is evident from the presentation of some concepts:

The American Institute of Standards defines it as the set of features and characteristics of a product or service that makes it able to meet specific needs.
Flip Crosby defined her: as conforming to specifications, that it is everyone's responsibility, and that consumer desires are the foundation of design.
Quality as in Oxford Dictionary means high quality or value.
Quality means mastery, as well as excellence and creativity.
- And the quality is the result of concern mainly with quality and quantity.

Quality objectives:

There are two types of quality objectives:


  • A- Objectives that serve quality control, which are related to the standards that the organization wishes to maintain and are formulated at the level of the organization as a whole, using lower-level requirements related to distinctive characteristics such as safety and customer satisfaction.

This can be classified into two quality objectives into four categories:


  1.  Objectives of the external performance of the organization, including markets, environment, and society.
  2.  The objectives of product performance and address customer needs and competition.
  3.  The performance objectives of the employees and deal with the skills, abilities, motivation, and development of the workers.
