The only doubt in saying that education is a key to sustainability of any nation is Quality. Education has experienced a major paradigm shift in recent years. It has become a service industry affecting its various stakeholders from faculty and students to society. Its vast impact has intrigued the application of management principals such as project management and quality management to assure best results in terms of its various deliverables. Higher education, in particular, for its direct and immediate applicability in society needs a concrete quality assurance system. According to foreign researchers and practitioners, future is the age of knowledge, knowledge organizations, new economy that forces organizations to create new methods of work, competences, processes, management methods and the principles of strategic management. Knowledge is obtained through thinking, experience, observation, information channels and other sources. Quality management standard ISO 9000 has already been investigated and implemented in educational institutes which has resulted in development of IWA2 (International Workshop Agreement). However most of such work is focused on assuring quality in organizational structure of higher education institutes. In this research we will investigate various aspects of implementing quality management standards in various activities of conducting a course at a higher education institute. These activities should be based on the 4 P’s of management i.e. Performance through Planning and managing People and Processes, where people concerned are instructors and students and processes range from instruction to assessment. Quality in conducting courses can be ensured by leadership and customer satisfaction from the stakeholders and planning processes, documenting and implementing them followed by auditing. Our work will follow the three stages of (a) preparation work for the creation of quality management system, (b) the preparation and implementation of the documents of the quality management system and (c) the preparation of the quality management system for certification as suggested by earlier research.

PurposeBased on the principles of the human capital theory, this study investigates the role of the quality management system (QMS) in higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing successful employability attributes among graduates. Considering industry as a prominent stakeholder in academia, the authors took industry–academia collaboration as the mediating variable.Design/methodology/approachUsing the European Foundation for Quality Management model, the author analyzed how QMS in public HEIs located in London, the United Kingdom (UK), impacts business management, computer science and engineering students' employability. Following the nonprobability convenience sampling technique, this study included data from 324 local and international students.FindingsThe structural analysis identified QMS as a significant factor in enhancing students' employability, and industry–academia collaboration is found to act as a partial mediator in this relationship.Originality/valueThe management of HEIs in developing countries can take valuable guidelines from this study and integrate QMS in their institutions in developing their students' employability, as it is being done by HEIs in the UK.

Quality has become an increasingly important and critical success factor at higher education institutions, particularly universities. Numerous discussions have been held about education quality in the context of sustainable development. However, the quality of that education strongly depends on the overall quality of the management system which operates at schools. The principal aim of this article is to present the approaches to the quality management systems’ development and their assessment at universities, and share some lessons learned from this area of research. Some possibilities of the ISO 9001 standard’s implementation, as well as the application of excellence models as a response to community demands, will be discussed, especially in the context of the recently-introduced Act No. 111/1998 Coll on Higher Education Institutions, which requires quality assurance and quality evaluation. A case study from The VSB-Technical University of Ostrava shows approaches, results and effects of the quality management system implementation.
