Abstract

This article examines the implementation of a quality culture in educational institutions to promote sustainable development through relevant theories and digital-age applications. Findings highlight that sustainability requires systematic integration of quality culture across four key areas: 1) Quality culture concepts, including organizational artifacts, values, and assumptions; 2) Practical application, focusing on stakeholder participation, quality management, and assurance to enhance standards; 3) Sustainability principles, emphasizing economic, social, and environmental balance, resource efficiency, and equitable learning; and 4) Digital-age education, leveraging technology and AI to create flexible learning environments and improve outcomes.
Adopting these strategies fosters a quality-driven education system, enhancing student achievement, institutional efficiency, and long-term sustainability. A resilient education framework ensures skilled graduates ready to navigate future challenges and contribute to sustainable societal progress.
