The biggest buffer to eliminate these questions is deficiencies in opinion from the concept of "quality, " and also the purpose of the typical study design is to gather various perspectives and study all of them individually with regards to the quality of Teacher Education products (TEPs).

Using Harvey and Green typology (1993), a stakeholder design was created, and views on quality were classified into three basic quality views of stakeholder teams: the Public see, the Management see and also the educational View.

There was no factor between directors and pupils, or between faculty and pupils. Period 2 disclosed some statistically significant connections amongst the members' educational roles —academic administrator, faculty member or pupil — and their degree of arrangement with the three scholastic quality components: scholar high quality, Faculty high quality, and Curriculum high quality. Conclusions also revealed some significant relationships between participants’ academic positions and their first option among the three educational quality elements.
