What is quality education?

Quality Education



Quality education is a human right and a public good. 
By being a public good, it means that governments and other public authorities should ensure that a quality education service is available (freely) to all citizens from early childhood into adulthood or tertiary level. 


It is argued that quality education provides the foundation for equity in society, where everybody is treated on an equal basis.

By invoking the very concept of 'equity', education has delved into the social core of humanity. Equity involves more than the simple concept of equality. In many situations, it is unfair to treat everybody on an equal basis.
In Thailand, at least at the policy level, quality education has been explicitly articulated.

Quality education enables people to develop all of their attributes and skills to achieve their potential as human beings and members of society. In the words of the Delors Commission (UNESCO, 1996): “Education is at the heart of both personal and community development; its mission is to enable each of us, without exception, to develop all our talents to the full and to realize our creative potential, including responsibility for our own lives and achievement of our personal aims.”
