National Annual Quality Convention on Education (NAQCE)

Empowering Students through Quality Circle Presentations

The Bangladesh Society for Total Quality Management (BSTQM) successfully hosted the National Annual Quality Convention on Education (NAQCE), a landmark event dedicated to promoting the culture of quality and continuous improvement in the education sector.

This year’s NAQCE placed a special focus on student-led Quality Circle (QC) presentations, where students from schools, colleges, and universities across the country showcased their problem-solving skills, teamwork, and creativity. Each QC Circle demonstrated how young minds can identify academic, social, and institutional challenges, analyze root causes, and propose practical, innovative solutions.

The student presentations covered diverse areas, including:

• Improving classroom learning and participation

• Reducing absenteeism and enhancing discipline

• Promoting environmental awareness and campus cleanliness

• Encouraging innovation, teamwork, and leadership skills

• Strengthening extracurricular and co-curricular activities

The event served not only as a competition but also as an inspirational platform for developing leadership, communication, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills among students. Teachers, educationists, and quality management professionals praised the QC circles for their dedication and enthusiasm in applying Total Quality Management (TQM) concepts to real-life educational challenges.

In his keynote address, the President of BSTQM emphasized the importance of introducing Quality Circles in education to build a new generation of students who value teamwork, discipline, and continuous improvement. He noted that such initiatives would help shape responsible future leaders capable of contributing to national development.

The convention concluded with recognition and awards for the best student QC Circles, motivating participants to continue practicing TQM principles in their academic and personal lives.
