This research explores the application of Total Quality Management (TQM) in enhancing character learning, specifically emphasizing religious and nationalist characters, at the MA Mu’allimin Nahdlatul Wathan Pancor, East Lombok. The study employed a qualitative descriptive field research approach, examining the comprehensive facets of education, including learning inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes. Findings revealed the significant role of TQM in fostering high-quality education that meets academic and non-academic standards, involving systematic planning, active educator involvement, and proper infrastructure.
