A systemic perspective to realizing and improving quality of education in schools

Abstract

Poor education quality leads to student failure. Improving education quality requires an interdisciplinary approach from various stakeholders with skills to develop educational interventions. Training education personnel in quality improvement processes without buy-in from systems theory is unlikely to be successful. We examine how systems theory helps in education quality realization. An analysis of education levels and their roles in the attainment of education quality is done. This discussion leads to a conclusion of the need for an effective interdisciplinary systemic perspective to realize education quality. The study recommends education systems to apply systems theory to understand educational issues for improvement purposes.
