Introduction to Students’ Quality Circle (SQC):-

Students’ Quality Circle (SQC) is an effective medium for the students to accomplish the building of personality. It is an innovative teaching-learning method.
SQC is the medium for the students to share and learn knowledge on quality education. It is the best way for the students to analyze their own problems and solve them from own level. It can further be determined as the process of creating necessary environment where teachers, students, parents and community work towards developing students in a manner that would be highly productive and contribute positively to the society. In fact, SQC is a learning community as a group of students who come together with a willing spirit to learn and support one another in order to achieve success.
SQC is also the process of developing positive attitudes among students towards their peers, teachers, parents and society. It is also an effective medium for enhancing personality characters like self-confidence, emotional stability, communication skills, team spirit, problem solving attitudes, commitment to work and desire to excel.
City Montessori School (CMS) in Lucknow, India was the first school to adopt the quality circle in education as Students’ Quality Control Center (SQCC). Founder of CMS, Mr. Jagadish Gandhi and Dr. (Mrs.) Bharti Gandhi introduce SQC concept in an academia with an educational philosophy, “every child is potentially the light of the world as well as the cause of it’s’ darkness, wherefore must question of education be accounted for as of the world as well as of primary importance.”
The different international Quality Organizations like Asia Pacific Quality Organization (APQO), International Organization for Quality Management (IOQM), World Council for Total Quality and Excellence in Education (WCTQEE), Quality and Peace Education Center, International Academy for Quality, QUEST-Nepal, etc. are conducting various awareness programmes, seminars, workshops and training about SQC among parents, teachers and students.
In the present scenario, the standard and quality of person has become the first causality in the race for the acquisition of material possessions. In this blind race, the character building and spirituality has been totally neglected with the result that man no more cares for the good of others. He has become selfish, ignorant and cruel about the real purpose of his life on earth and indifferent to the service of mankind. The purpose of starting SQC to make every child a good and smart, the gift of God and nature to mankind and pride of human race, as the ultimate goal.
In the present context, the different institutions and organizations like City Montessori School and CARITAS-Nepal are imparting quality education catering for material, human and spiritual requirement of children in order to make them Total Quality People/Person. Through this, we can feel that the educational institutions all over the world should strive to make every child, a TQP so that they may become internally Good and Smart.
SQC’s concept in an academia is a milestone to create student’s overall personality development. It is very important for all to accept a noble cause of building TQP for future. This facilitates us to learn and share ideas and knowledge on Quality Concepts and to collaborate to develop Quality Consciousness among each other.
