INTRODUCTION

The word “quality” comes from the Latin word “quails” which means, “what kind of”.

The British Standard Institution (1991) defines, as “the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs.

DIFFERENT QUALITIES

Quality has different ideas.

(i) quality as absolute ( eg. Taj Mahal Pic);

(ii) quality as relative (eg. IIT standards);

(iii) quality as a process (eg. HP printer);

(iv) quality as culture (eg. teaching process in Gnanamani Institutions).

QUALITY - TEACHER EDUCATION

• To identify the needs of our teachers and the teacher educators (teaching degree, skill of teaching, using technological devices)
