The role of primary education is to ensure the broad-based development of pupils. This means ensuring that all pupils are able to develop their cognitive, social, emotional, cultural, and physical skills to the best of their abilities and preparing them for their further school career. It is known that education in Bangladesh is highly subsided. The government has given the highest importance to the education sector to ensure education for all. A large percentage of a country's national budget is set to promote education and make it more accessible. But the education system of Bangladesh faces several problems. Low performances in primary levels and dropout are matters of concern because the low performances can result of poverty, widening disparities in education opportunities and facilities, poor school attendance, less contact time in school, lack of skilled school teachers, and lack of coordination between parents and the teachers. For that reasons, this research is conducted to implement the Total Quality Management (TQM) to improve the condition and the quality of the primary education system. Total Quality Management is a tool for ensuring proper quality in the entire organization. The main objective of the research is to eliminate problems such as the lack of quality of teachers and to improve the relation between teachers, students, and parents. Another aim of this research is to improve the quality of the environment of the class room in order to motivate the students to go to school; so, the dropout can be reduced.

The organization can fully benefit from efforts to improve quality through programs such as total quality management. Just-in-time and total quality management combine to support the successful implementation of agile manufacturing programs which, in turn, result in the organization’s ability to respond rapidly and aggressively to changes in customer demand. We contend that adoption of a market orientation combined with just in time, total quality management, and agile manufacturing programs leads to organizational capabilities of relatively low cost operation, high quality product and service production, and rapid response to changes in customer needs and demand. While studies on total quality management implementation appear to focus on identifying the role of total quality management practices on organizational success, total quality management practices are still directed from within the organization. Market orientation, however, requires more external engagement and shares the same ultimate aim as total quality management implementations.

Many organizations are facing competitive challenges due to the rapid pace of technological change. Management theorists and practitioners alike have called for more creativity and innovation in product lines, management practices and production processes. On one hand, Total quality management (TQM) has long been a major management practice. Recognition of TQM as a competitive advantage is widespread around the world, and few companies can afford to ignore TQM. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to identify and extraction TQM & Innovation dimensions. In first part have been recognized four dimensions for TQM and two dimensions of Innovation, The four TQM dimensions in this study include Leadership, Employee relations, Customer focus , Continuous improvement and the two Innovation dimensions are Product innovation and Process innovation. Also, in this paper used a DEMATEL Method to examining the causal relations these factors. Inattention to results, the most influential factor is Leadership and more affected factor is Process innovation. As a result Leadership has more influence on Innovation.
