Abstract

There is a severe requirement for quality in every sphere of human development. This paper analyzes the convergence of two different philosophies with proper educational management to achieve quality education. The quality of teaching, quality of student intake, and, quality of course structure all affect the quality of education. This paper provides the combination of two important schools of thought the Indian school of thought and the Japanese school of thought which provide a holistic solution to the problem. This paper evaluates the cross-cultural influence of two separate value systems and postulates a comprehensive model for its effective implementation.
