Abstract
Data collection utilized three distinct questionnaires. For analysis, Path analysis within the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) framework was conducted using the Lisrel program. Findings indicated: The quality of 21st century education is directly influenced by: Student-level factors such as 21st century learner skills and learning behavior. Class-level factors like teacher skills for the 21st century and their motivation to work. Notably, teacher skills at this level also influence student-level factors. At the school level, administrative quality for the 21st century was highlighted. However, no school-level factors were found to influence the class level. The proposed model aligns well with empirical data. Model validity was confirmed through various indices: χ2 = .13, GFI = 1.00, CFI = 1.00, SRMR = .00; χ2 = .36, GFI = 1.00, CFI = 1.00, SRMR = .01; χ2 = 3.00, GFI = .99, CFI = 1.00, SRMR = .03; χ2 = 5.44, GFI = .93, CFI = .97, SRMR = .07 respectively. The insights derived from this research can inform policy formulation aimed at enhancing 21st century educational quality.
