Education has become big business. Here in the Philippines for example, we hear and read about schools opening and offering courses that are in demand such as IT and nursing.
There’s nothing wrong actually with having several schools. It becomes a problem when the quality of the educational system suffers. If the quality of instruction is bad, and quality of graduates is mediocre.
Now, if you talk of quality, Six Sigma always comes into the picture. The question is can we use Six Sigma in education? I’m sure we can!
True enough, an article on Six Sigma Zone talks about how to apply Six Sigma to education.
As of a common layman point’s of view, in education, Six Sigma pertains to improving the quality of matter taught, the character generated of the pupils, and the quality of study and school life. With the revolutionary usage of audio-visual devices, like projectors, video conferencing, etc., the students can also be asked to write papers on a particular subject and after the presentation of papers, a discussion can take place on the respective subject. Under this method of imparting knowledge of literacy with quality, the thinking, writing and presentation skills of the students can be kindled.
