Introduction
In 1990, the World Quality Day was approved to raise awareness of the significance of quality for all institutions in different fields to promote growth, innovation and sustainability at the global level. Since then, institutions around the world celebrate this day on November every year, due to the contribution of quality to institutional growth, prosperity and well-being at the national and global levels. Sustainable quality is a systematic map for achieving competitive advantage, through achieving continuous excellence, astute insight, intelligence, creativity and innovation.
Shared aspirations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for the year 2030 and beyond require realizing competitive potential, which is the theme of this year’s celebration of World Quality Day (Quality: Realizing your Competitive Potential), in addition to the right initiatives and actions in the first time and every time while progressing towards achieving indicators and targets. It is necessary to rethink our common global future by ensuring education quality in the twenty-first century, enhancing leadership competitiveness by optimally investing all capabilities and resources, and ensuring that educational policies, curricula and practices in all education systems have met the requirements for shaping a sustainable future.
An ambitious futuristic vision is required to move forward steadily for a better world and future and for enhancing leadership competitiveness in light of the unprecedent scientific and technological progress. Therefore, RCQE has taken several proactive steps, perhaps the most important of which is to work on developing an Arab Model for Quality and Excellence in Education, and to conduct a survey study on awards in the Arab region as a preparation for launching RCQE Award for Excellence in Education in addition to the global forum to foresee education quality.
