This study evaluates the role of technical education in Palestinian universities using a Total Quality Management (TQM) framework, with particular attention to implementation challenges. Recognizing the strategic importance of technical education to national development and labor market alignment, the research explores faculty perceptions regarding its value and the systemic barriers affecting its effectiveness. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to a stratified random sample of academic staff from Qalandiya Training College, Women’s Community College – Al-Tira, and Palestine Technical University – Kadoorie. Out of an intended sample of 110 participants, 84 faculty members responded from a broader population of 1,440 across 18 technical and vocational institutions in the West Bank. The results indicate strong faculty consensus on the significance of technical education, alongside notable concerns regarding infrastructure, institutional support, and the implementation of TQM principles. These insights contribute to policy and curriculum reform efforts aimed at enhancing educational quality and promoting sustainable development in conflict-affected educational systems.
