Abstract

The undertaking of this study was justified by the undeniable need for the enhancement of knowledge concerning the current status and future evolution of the quality standards in our education system. Its current performance underscores the necessity for the implementation of teaching methodologies that facilitate learning based on technological innovations. Additionally, the study explores perspectives for the improvement and enhancement of teacher development programs, coupled with considerations of meritocracy and salary improvement. The overarching objective of this research is to illustrate the correlation between the quality of Brazilian education and the structural maintenance of competitiveness among Brazilian enterprises. It is asserted that without this quality, it is not feasible for Brazil to sustain its competitiveness in the current global business landscape. This research clearly highlights the urgent need for our education system to accelerate the implementation and use of technological resources and modern teaching techniques. The implementation of an Integrated Quality Management System in Education is crucial to achieving a positive leap in quality, thereby providing positive impacts on the performance of teachers, future generations, society, and the trinity of quality, productivity, and competitiveness.
