Abstract

In Qatar, the quest for creative and inspiring educational institutions is driving the nation toward fostering independent, confident, and self-reliant critical thinkers. This effort to build exceptional schools in line with international standards is essential to achieving Qatar's ambitious 2030 vision of transforming into a developed society committed to sustainable development. As part of this vision, the Third Qatar National Development Strategy (2024-2030) sets a goal to significantly improve Qatari students' performance in international exams such as PISA and TIMMS, aiming for an increase of 30 points in each assessment cycle. This challenge underscores the urgent need to focus on enhancing the quality of primary and secondary education, addressing inequalities, and improving learning outcomes for all students. However, according to the Annual Statistics of Education in Qatar (2021-2022), it is concerning that Qatar ranks below the global average in international assessments. These exams are crucial for measuring the effectiveness of a country's education system compared to others and identifying areas that require improvement. This paper conducted an in-depth review of the literature on Total Quality Management (TQM) scopes and related statistical methods, such as data analysis and regression modeling, to highlight current best practices, innovative approaches, and evidence-based strategies for improving educational quality. The findings reveal that low student achievement is influenced by factors such as curriculum development and the involvement of parents and the wider community in education.
