Highlights
In this intense competition era, the quality of education is the most crucial concern in a country (Koslowski, 2006)
Management which carried out to improve and maintain quality is called total quality management (TQM), when the governance is in the top management or executive of the organization, on the other hand, the domain of management focuses on the domains below which are more operational (Nugroho, 2014)
The biggest obstacle to implementing TQM in education is the absence of commitment from those involved in the education system, especially top management and teachers
Summary
In this intense competition era, the quality of education is the most crucial concern in a country (Koslowski, 2006). Quality education is the heart of education that influences what students learn, how well they learn, and what benefits they get from their education. Improving the quality of education is probably one of the most critical tasks any organization may be facing, whether private or public. Quality education is a skill to build the ability to accommodate and assimilate knowledge in the field of educational needs and the implementation of this knowledge to create a mechanism to achieve customer expectations and education services (Campatelli et al, 2011). There is no appropriate benchmark to meet the needs of students to produce quality education. Educators are not empowered with the ability and knowledge to meet these new needs, new demands, and new expectations to improve the quality of private secondary education (Gomes & Panchoo, 2017)
