...In Quality Education By : Rohmat Muflikhul Huda 1. Introduction In education we are never separated from the curriculum. The basis for the creation of curriculum educational settings. The curriculum is said to be successful if the trip went smoothly, and can be said to be in accordance with the plan. However, the curriculum is said to fail when encountering many obstacles along the way that makes the pace of the curriculum itself becomes obstructed. There are at least 4 times a change of curriculum in Indonesia, that began 94 years, from 1994 to the enactment of curriculum, until now is curriculum 2013. I chose this topic, because of the many debates every time to discuss curriculum that affect the level or quality of education itself. Basically, the quality of education itself is not only influenced by the course curriculum, but the way teachers teach and also the effectiveness of the learning process also greatly affect the quality of education. That which will be discussed later in this article, so it is not just the curriculum that will be discussed in this article, but the effectiveness, a great system in education, and also a good way of how the education will also be discussed in this article. 2.

...QUALITY CONCEPT IN EDUCATION In recent years, the discussion and debate on the quality of higher education and the mechanism for quality assurance in higher education have growth intensely. With the upgraded formerly known as vocational school to vocational college, quality of the end product should not be compromised. Concern on quality did start from the 13th and 14th century where it more focused on the term of education, the delivery system and the intended audience at that time. The setting for education at that time was for select few or the elite classes as the early European universities were set up to the educated status of the nobility. The criteria for quality assurance at the time were limited to determining the expertise of the teacher and students performance through demonstration of mastery of knowledge. Nowadays the democratization of education has change the delivery of formal education. Highly educated society is seen as essential for growth and development of a country. The impact of new technology also has change the way population gain access to education. In 21st century, quality assurance process is a must especially in higher education institutions to ensure the quality and credibility of the student produced. Woodhouse (1992) defines Quality assurance as a program in an institution where, quality assurance involves attitudes, objects, actions, and procedures, which, through their existence and use, and together with the quality control activities...

...Enhancing Quality and Equality of Education “Literacy is the road to human progress and the means through which every man; woman and child can realize his or her full potential.”……………Kofi Annan. Access to education and learning is crucial for development but ‘equitable’ access and learning is vital for sustainable development. The various dimensions of inequality (gender, socio economic, rural – urban), if not taken into account can result in skewed and lopsided growth that has the potential to do more harm than good to the larger fabric of society. Such development stands the risk of strengthening the current power structures and relegating the already marginalized, further down the abyss. These inequalities do not exist in isolation- one form reinforces the other. This means that there are common causes, functioning through multiple mechanisms, inflating the gross inequalities in the education sector. The major challenge before the Indian education system is to enhance the quality and bring equality in education system. Quality education which is essential to learning and human development is influenced by factors both inside and outside the classroom. In addition to enabling the transfer of knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in a profession and break the cycle of poverty, quality plays a crucial role in closing the gender gap in basic education. Quality Education includes:- * Learners who are healthy, well nourished and ready to participate and learn and supported...

...South Africa’s quality of education 140th out of 144 which is lower than Lesotho and Swaziland. This causes us to think whether the state has or has not failed to provide quality education for its citizens. After the apartheid era South Africa had become a democracy. With the start of this democracy and the new Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996 there had been a transformation in South Africa’s education system. A transformation in the system was exactly what South Africa needed because of the previously destructive policies, legislation and practices implemented under the apartheid era which segregated black students and other races apart from whites. This caused blacks and other minority races to be disadvantaged because the whites were seen as the superior race which meant that the blacks and other racial minorities suffered severe educational,social and economic disadvantage. However the Constitution of 1996 and a COMPREHENSIVE number of education laws that have been applied have been transforming the South African educational system at all levels. Another example is the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996 which provides for a uniform system for the organisation, governance and funding for all schools in the country. The purpose of the Act is to provide high quality of education aswell as addressing past injustices. The government’s plan for educational reform is also included in this act. The Act provides for the following: compulsory education for learners...

...MANAGEMENT REVIEW Quality of Professional Management Education in Bhubaneswar: An Assessment from Student Point of View Abstract Rakhi Dutta Asst Prof. Srusti Academy of Management, Bhubaneswar The twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack together have around forty-five colleges and institutions offering postgraduate programs in management. Some of them run as autonomous bodies or universities, some are affiliated to Universities, some have got approval from AICTE and some have tie-ups with other national and international bodies. The paper is based on an exploratory qualitative research undertaken in the cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack among postgraduate students of management from around 15 colleges and is an attempt to enumerate the deficiencies they perceive in their education. The research has primarily focused on education delivery and covers the curricular and teaching-learning aspects along with certain other areas which affect students. The paper also gives some suggestive measures to take care of these deficiencies. “Assessment in this spirit does not concern assignment of grades or evaluation of whether instruction was effective. It’s assessment designed squarely to feed into the learning process and make the learning stronger. David N. Perkins, Making Learning Whole: How Seven Principles of Teaching can Transform Education Introduction With supply outstripping demand for engineering and management seats, India may stop new professional colleges...

ABERLE Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore MD, 21202, USA. E-mail: kaberle@abet.org Faster computer chips, corporate mergers, new Internet applications: every day, we are reminded of the sweeping technological change and globalization that appear to be dominant trends of the new millennium.

...# Summary School choice describes programs that allow students to choose to attend any of various participating private and public schools, usually based on a system of vouchers, tax credits, or scholarships. These programs are generally intended to give parents more input in which primary and secondary schools their children attend. In the United States, school choice sometimes refers to the social movement instrumental in promoting these programs. The goal of school choice is to create competition between schools for education dollars, which may give public schools an incentive to perform better than without competition. However, opponents have argued that the free-market theory does not work in the educational realm, and that allowing school choice will hurt more students than it helps. School choice in America comes in a few different forms. The different options could be put into these categories: vouchers, tax credits, charter schools, magnet schools and even home schooling. # Support Proponents argue that if parents were given a choice where public funding should go, they would pick the better schools and under-performing schools would have to improve or lose funding. The main premise of school choice proponents’ arguments is that the school should be the focus of reform. Some school choice proponents hold that if a school is failing the student, it should be replaced. Due to the expanded market and subsequent demand for privately run schooling, school choice proponents...

...Introduction “You learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation”. This Plato’s adage of learning from management games is gathered whenever games are used as an educational tool. In past years, many business schools have been working on for changes in the way of teaching: like real life applications, case studies, making them experience real challenges in business, which all can be explained as “Learning by Doing”. Teaching itself is opening ways for students like the World Wide Web, distance education, end user learning and cooperative learning. The objective behind a management game is to offer students the opportunity to learn by doing in as reliable a management situation as possible and to engage them in a simulated experience of the real world. Management games give students a relaxed and fun filled environment. Students learn and practice from new challenges faced in management games and get the opportunity to use them in a non-stressful way. Games are also motivating in the sense they introduce an element of competition and the competitive ambience makes them concentrate and think intensively during the learning process, also making them mentally strong. Students who have experienced games oriented activities hold an optimistic attitude for them. Overall, this process involves Games are also motivating.

Education quality is becoming increasingly important for those who are involved in it either directly or indirectly, and for those who use its services. Access to education and quality education are to be regarded as mutually dependent and indivisible needs and rights. This is primarily achieved by developing creativity, civic and democratic values, as well as by knowledge, abilities and skills needed for everyday and professional life. Basic education is not sufficient or complete, and therefore should be considered only as a basis for learning that needs to be used all life long. Lifelong learning for all has become one of the pillars of development. Quality management is a part of management aimed at achieving quality goals through planning, monitoring, assuring and improving quality. Involving all members of the organization brings us closer to total quality control (Total Quality Management, TQM). Efficient...
