The concepts of customer satisfaction and continuous improvement of products and service form the foundation of the quality philosophy that swept across American industry during the 1980s. The translation of the concepts from industrial to educational practice is proceeding in many areas across the country and around the world, where the principles are being applied to school administration, curricula and teaching. One of the first and most necessary tasks in expanding and solidifying this effort is formulating and communicating a broad, compelling vision to unite different elements of the education system together in pursuing continuous improvement. The construction of a vision for quality is the focus of this article.

Theory Of Complexity

Abstract The main motivation for this paper is that a negligible number of reforms in education systems, initiated all over the world, proved to be successful in terms of bringing desired results in promoting educational practice and its final goal - the promotion of students’ learning and knowledge. Regarding the education system and its reform a change of paradigm has recently happened. In some cases, changes were made gradually, whereas in other cases it was completely abandonment of treating them as complicated systems with simple interventions and solutions toward the recognition and respect of their true complex nature. So, this reviewed paper explores new insights and tools derived from the theory of complexity. They can help to better understand and navigate the education system and its reform. Becoming familiarised with methodological implications of viewing the education system and its reform as complex system is recommendation for different stakeholders included in education system, such as teachers, students, researchers, administrators and policy makers. Advance awareness of both urgency and opportunities of analysing and respecting the education system as a complex system would contribute to better understanding the essence of dynamic wholeness of education and, for sure, would provide desired results of educational reform. For all of us that means more successful coping with the world characterised by a growing number of complex systems with growing intensity.

<p>Since the ‘Education for All Agenda’ was ratified at the Jomtien conference in 1990, the world has moved to implementing the agenda. Papua New Guinea believes that education is the solution to its social, economic, and political problems, and in taking ownership of and working towards implementing the programme. However, Papua New Guinea’s education system concentrates on improving girls’, education and special education. This has resulted in improved enrolment numbers and higher retention rates nationwide but has failed to deliver quality education to all students specifically marginalised children of both genders. This essay argues that delivering quality education to all children should be addressed through an intersectionality approach. Firstly, intersectionality is defined and the ways that intersecting factors cause marginalisation and discrimination within different groups around the world and in Papua New Guinea are described. Secondly, the essay discusses how Papua New Guinea’s culture contributes to segregation. Finally, it discusses how Papua New Guinea can approach intersectionality issues and improve its education system to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, i.e. to provide inclusive and equitable education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. </p>
