Education quality stands as a vital international issue since globalization progressed while stakeholders and technology became more involved. This paper evaluates how quality assurance systems impact education by studying the connection between accreditation programs and institutional frameworks and digital educational technologies that uphold academic norms. Through the use of comparative case studies this study uses literature review methods together with triangulation to establish findings across multiple education systems. The research shows how developed and developing regions have multiple disparities in their QA implementation methods while students and policy makers face various barriers to participate across limited resources in each region. Digital inequality acts as an obstacle to achieve equitable quality assurance because technology integration has improved QA procedures. This investigation adds to educational management studies by presenting an equilibrium structure to build QA effectiveness using policy adaptation and comprehensive stakeholder involvement and technological application
