for example the study of (koch, 2003) but this one war about the failure of TQM in education
any suggestion?
Klaled, I cannot recommend you articles (this is not my topic) but I can give you a couple of stylized facts, so you can search the literature. There is a substantial decline (globally) of education in mathematics and geography. People (even researchers) cannot find simple integral or solve differential equation without computer, many cannot do arithmetic calculation by hand. Many people now cannot orient is space without special computer software. These skills were quite common for older generation. About geography, you can see my question: https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_do_you_think_about_geographical_education_and_knowledge_of_population_today
Some of the arguments in my paper: Improving student engagement in commercial Art & Design programmes published in the International Journal of Art & Design Education (iJADE) might be helpful.

Hi Khaled,
It appears as if you're looking for some titles of books that are critical of higher education. If that's correct, the authors and titles that follow are some pretty powerful criticisms of higher education in the United States.
Berman, P. (1992). Debating P.C.: The controversy over political correctness on college campuses.
Bloom, A. (1987). The closing of the American mind.
D'Souza, D. (1991). Illiberal education: The politics of race and sex on campus.
Kimball, B. (1986). Orators and philosophers: A history of the idea of liberal education. (This book is pretty historical and philosophical.)
Stout, M. (2000). The feel-good curriculum: The dumbing down of America's kids in the name of self-esteem. (This book has a focus on teacher education.)
Sykes. C. (1995). Dumbing down our kids. (This again focuses in part on teacher education at the university level).
Willimon, W.H. & Naylor, T.H. (1995). The abandoned generation: Rethinking higher education. (This might be a good first look for you.)
I certainly hope this list helps!! Please reach out any time. Nick.
I would like to add Cheng Yin Choeng (2001). He is a professor in Hong Kong Institute of Education. He wrote about the evolution in QA in education. There are some you can pick up for writing critisms. TQM was mentioned on his writing too.
Quality in HIgher Education is not bad per se. The question is whether quality means pampering and spoonfeeding the student or also challenging them.
Criticism is on (the unreflected transfer of) quality management systems.
About the use of self evaluation in Higher education and the reaction of professionals in education to external quality management.
Success!!!
