The aim of this study is conducting a comparison between the internal law of the
Syrian basic education schools and the corresponding law in French schools in order to
determine the extent to which each law is consisting with total quality manageme
nt
principles, so as to benefiting from French experience in this field. To achieve this aim, a
comparative approach is adopted. The results showed that the Syrian internal law has not
been designed according to the total quality management principles intentionally, where it
focused on some principles and ignored others. For example, it focused on matching
student's need as beneficiary, but ignored both graduate's need for work and marketplace
itself as beneficiary. In addition, the internal law did not give sufficient importance to
supporting top management principle to achieve quality. In contrary, the corresponding
French law focuses on the total quality management principles intentionally. Despite not
having exactly the same names as mission, the vision and quality councils, even though
they are incorporated in the content. It is suggested that there is a need to benefit from
strength points in the French law taking into account the Syrian conditions.
