Abstract

Quality management in education is an area that has received various
conceptualizations. Although there is no agreed definition of quality, its management
depends on set standards as well as quality assurance and control mechanisms in place.
Based on the review of various literatures, this paper uses a model developed from
systems theory and CIPP model to shed light to both policy makers and implementers on
what should be taken on board to achieve the level of quality desired. The paper also
adds to the debate on what should be the priority when it comes to the issue of
management of quality in secondary school education in Tanzania.
