“…Factually, the term quality has been immensely debated concept in academia since ancient times [37,38]. As for example, the antiquity of the scepticism and confusion about the nature of quality is brought out by an interesting conversation in one of the celebrated dialogues on "quality medicine" involving Socrates in 410 BC.…”

Quality assurance in education has been a critical issue in both private and public higher education in all emerging economies since World War II. Available theories on quality education are numerous, but their strategic models are sparsely sustained. The main objective of this study is, therefore, to articulate and to empirically test a conceptual model to assure and sustain quality in tertiary education grounding on a theory base presented by Chohen and Ball (2006). The model has three parts: independent components, i.e., quality inputs such as quality teachers, quality students, and quality staffs; mediating component, i.e., quality process such as quality programs; and target component, i.e., quality product such as quality education. Data (n = 97 private universities) were gathered from a report of the university grant commission (UGC), Bangladesh. The data were analysed following PLS-SEM using SmartPLS3 and SPSS software. Findings indicate that all of the predictors appear to be robust in predicting quality education. The results also indicate that the mediating construct has a significant partial mediating role in enhancing quality education in private universities. These outcomes will help academic authorities formulate the right policy option in assuring quality education in higher education institutes in Bangladesh.

Doherty (2012) is of the view that definition of quality by the Plato is utopian according to which "quality" is closer to its "ideal". According to Aristotle's definition, quality is fitness to purpose.…”

Several researchers have noticed the role of technical and engineering education in economic progress. For quality of technical and engineering education, accreditation and quality enhancement are two important processes. This study was conducted because accreditation is a recent phenomenon and not well-researched in the context of technical and engineering education in Pakistan. This study explores the relationship between Accreditation and Quality Enhancement of technical and engineering education in Pakistan. It will be helpful for the policymakers in identifying the problems and suggesting changes in Accreditation process. The quantitative data was collected through survey and qualitative data was collected through in-depth interviews. In first phase response of ninety heads of program was received and then ten selected heads of programs were interviewed. The findings of all phases were integrated during the interpretation phase. It was concluded that in Pakistan there is a positive correlation between accreditation process and quality enhancement.
