The main objective of this systematic review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the holistic understanding of quality in education, examining critical dimensions that influence educational outcomes. The review delves into the concept of quality education, identifying key indicators that define it and exploring its significant contributions to socio-economic development, thereby highlighting its role as a catalyst for individual and societal advancement. In addition, the review identified the multifaceted challenges associated with maintaining quality education, including resource allocation, stakeholder engagement, and the integration of innovative pedagogical approaches. By contextualizing quality in education within the school environment through the lens of inputs, processes, and outputs, the review not only synthesizes existing literature but also presents a robust framework for understanding the complexities of educational quality. Moreover, this review serves as a foundational reference for future research, encouraging further exploration into effective strategies for enhancing quality in educational institutions and addressing the evolving needs of learners in a dynamic global landscape.
