Abstract
This paper is concerned with the possibilities and problems that a teachers' college in Trinidad and Tobago has, in attempting to develop and sustain a Quality Assurance Capability (QuAC). An examination of the existing models, concepts, and characteristics of quality assurance and tertiary level education was carried out. Following this, systems analysis was used as a means of determining the extent to which a teachers' college measured up to the prevailing conceptions of quality assurance. It is concluded that, in almost every feature of a teachers' college organization, there were severe constraints on the manifestation of genuine quality, since the necessary mechanisms for quality assurance are either underdeveloped or totally lacking
