Abstract

The idea of quality in education as an expression of relative merit of education received in institution X versus in institution Y perhaps has always been there at the intuitive level. Otherwise it seems difficult to explain people choosing institution X against institution Y; and such choices have always been there since time immemorial. The intuitive and largely subjective ways of thinking about quality in education seem to have worked fine till the national education systems became instruments of international economic and military competition, and large amount of public funds started flowing into education.
