GIIS Tokyo’s Deming Win Further Glorifying the GIIS Tokyo Legacy
As an academician, I know the importance of quality management in education which is the differentiator for schools to ensure that they stay ahead of the curve, adapt to the changes and improve continuously to generate an educational experience that meets the evolving needs of students and society.
And in this context, I must mention that as a top K-12 school in Tokyo, GIIS Tokyo has consistently prepared its students to meet global benchmarks, enabling them to pursue higher education across diverse disciplines both in Japan and abroad.
This commitment to excellence and quality management is reflected in the school’s 2025 Deming win – the first school in the world to win this recognition.
A Testimony to GIIS Tokyo’s Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Being a school situated in Japan where quality is a way of life which is rooted in its culture and systematic practices, the prestigious Deming Award is an endorsement to the high standard of services that GIIS Tokyo has been delivering over the years. This honour is definitely a reflection of the school’s long-term journey of commitment, consistency and involvement in the betterment of educational services to society, and importantly, the award will elevate GIIS Tokyo’s responsibilities to a higher level.
An Evolution Underpinned by Detailing and Thoroughness
Having stayed in Japan for a long time, I have witnessed GIIS’s phenomenal expansion in the past two decades. From a small school offering Indian curriculum to the small Indian community to its present-day identity as an institution with international curriculum offerings designed to suit the learning needs of diverse demography, GIIS Tokyo has evolved drastically, earning its niche in the Japanese community. There’s no doubt about the fact that this remarkable improvement has progressed through the school’s systematic management systems, practices and collaborations with all stakeholders who value stability, trust and professionalism.
A Milestone in Quality Education, which will Inspire Others
In the present scenario, as the Indo-Japan collaboration in education, science and technology continues to strengthen and expand, GIIS Tokyo’s achievement in the field of implementing educational excellence through total quality management is highly inspiring. For being the first school to secure the Deming Award, GIIS Tokyo created a history that will encourage other contemporary education institutions to implement quality management practices in academics and all other operations through a mutual effort with all stakeholders.
My hearty congratulations to GIIS Tokyo for this remarkable recognition, and I wish that the school will continue to build on the momentum of the award, driving greater innovation and excellence and setting new benchmarks for the future of global education.
