Some Examples of Framework for Promoting Quality in the Educational Sector

While there have been sporadic initiatives for infusing Quality into Education in general and Technical Education in particular, organized and sustained activities have only begun since 1991 when the Corporate Sector began to recognize the importance of Quality in their products and services consequent upon the economic liberalization introduced then. This Paper discusses several frameworks which have been developed for introducing and sustaining Quality in the different sectors. While all of them have the same or similar objectives, the frameworks differ both in the identification of criteria and the assessment process.
