TOTAL QUALITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION

 

 Robert Cornesky, et  ali

Problems in world higher education can be directly attributed to a lack of vision, insight, and skill on the part of many administrators who have failed to receive any formal, or even informal, management training. During the rapid growth of higher education in the 1960s and '70s, unskilled or inefficient managers set the stage for long-term problems now associated with planning and development, budget management, personnel administration, and the perceived decline in quality among university graduates.
Some examples of the lack of quality:
·         outmoded instructional techniques
·         poor staff morale
·         weak and incompetent teacher preparation
·         inefficient budgets
·         inadequate skills in students  and teachers
Clearly, there is growing unrest about the quality of higher education at federal, state, and local levels of government and in society at large.
Traditionally, there has always been a fear of changing systems by which value or worth is measured. Only when change has been forced by the need to survive have institutions like industry, banking, government, and education discovered new ways to measure worth. But complacency in a globally competitive environment will only lead to further decline.
As societies in all world  moves into the XXI  millenium, that fear of change must give way to a new quest for excellence, if Higher Education Institutions whants  to retain its position as a world leader in scholarship and teaching.  education
