In the education system of India, conventional approaches and top-down policies have typically resulted in a culture of resistance to change, responsibility, and innovation. Against on-going discourse about the quality and equity of education, this paper makes a case for the change-oriented potential of W. Edwards Deming’s 14 principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) in redefining school culture. Based on Deming’s systemic thinking on quality and continuous improvement, the paper discusses how his principles might be used in the context of India’s educational system. It offers a framework for the conceptualization of school culture change and provides steps to achieve it practically. The paper also discusses likely challenges and provides strategies for institutionalizing quality at the core of the school system.
