Author(s): Mamta Sharma, Suchitra Behera and Sunita Srivastava
Abstract: Total Quality Management (TQM) has become a pivotal framework for enhancing organizational performance and ensuring stakeholder satisfaction across sectors, including education. Teacher education institutions, being the foundation of quality learning and teaching, require robust systems to address their unique challenges and drive sustainable improvement. This analytical study investigates the role and impact of TQM practices on teacher educational institutions in Jharkhand, India. The research identifies the extent of TQM adoption, focusing on its implementation strategies, associated barriers, and tangible outcomes. While some institutions have incorporated practices like faculty development programs, student feedback mechanisms, and periodic curriculum reviews, the study reveals significant disparities in implementation levels due to infrastructural and financial constraints. Institutions in rural and semi-urban areas face additional challenges, such as limited technological resources and resistance to change. Findings highlight that institutions with effective TQM practices report enhanced faculty performance, higher student satisfaction, and improved administrative efficiency. This study emphasizes that continuous improvement, leadership commitment, and stakeholder engagement are critical for successful TQM implementation. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of targeted policies, capacity-building initiatives, and infrastructure development to foster a culture of excellence in teacher education. By providing actionable insights, this research contributes to the broader discourse on quality assurance in education and offers a roadmap for transforming teacher education institutions in Jharkhand into centres of excellence.
