Abstract
This study focuses on the effects of the implementation of the Integrated Quality
Management System on the work of teachers. The stated aims of lQMS are to provide
support for teachers' needs, promote accountability and to monitor and evaluate the
performance of teachers. The complex and lengthy implementation of the IQMS
process influences the core duties of teachers and seems to contradict the stated aims.
The research questions posed in this study specifically look at how the process is
implemented and managed, and its effect on teacher's work is explored.
Literature on school reform and systemic reform was reviewed to understand the
context in which accountability has emerged as a key educational reform tool. The
literature also provided both an international and local perspective of accountability.
A critical review of Schrag's philosophical view of accountability was done in the
literature review. The literature has given insight into following a qualitative research
method to explore the effects of lQMS on the work of teachers.
