Education Quality Improvement from The Perspective of Sustainable Development Goals Achievement

Abstract

Quality of education plays an important role in the success of national development. This is one of the 17 goals with respect to the UNESCO’s Global Action Program (GAP) of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In order to achieve the goal, it needs long-term and systems thinking, dealing with complexities and working in partnerships as the foundation for creating sustainable development and improve the quality of life. Therefore, every education institution should attempt to achieve it by doing continuous quality improvement. For this regard, it needs to implement a proper quality education management concept, i.e., the total quality management. The application of this concept can create an academic culture, mutual trust, participation, teamwork, quality mindset, and continuous improvement and development in the educational institution, and it requires a jump of focus from short-term orientation to long-term orientation, and it is also necessary to change organizational culture based on academic culture.
