Abstract

This paper aims to review the literature and clarify the misconceptions of the related quality approaches and quality terminologies to portray the need to go beyond quality assurance system in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Africa. Evidence was attained from the literature concerns the meaning of quality concepts from books and articles obtained from Google Scholar, ResearchGate and online libraries. The paper traces the evolution of quality and quality approaches and explains how the total quality management (TQM) should be the focus in HEIs of Africa. The stakeholders' knowledge and understanding of the concepts of TQM principles and quality culture will enable them to have a clear picture of the quality management system in their institutions. We are in the era of TQM since the 1980s, however, HEIs in Africa are practicing the TQM with a feeble understanding of the entire quality concepts.
