Abstract
In line with Malaysia's aspiration to be a center of educational excellence in the region, the National Education System has implemented an education reform program as a platform to meet the continuing quality improvement needs at all levels of educational institutions. Hence, this study aims to examine the continuous quality improvement practices in religious schools that have gained public attention lately. Cross-sectional survey method was applied in the data collection process. The instrument used consists of two parts, namely Demographic Section and Continuous Quality Improvement Climate questionnaires. A total of 478 respondents comprising senior religious teachers in Kelantan were involved in the study. Stratified random sampling methods were used in the sample selection process. The findings show that religious schools adopt high-quality continuous improvements in all dimensions. However, there are significant differences based on demographic and dimension aspects. Therefore, school development factors and elements in continuous quality improvement practices should be properly addressed by stakeholders in every level of educational management.
