NEED
AND IMPORTANCE OF INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING
Kothari commission (1964-66)
has remarked that one of the weakness
of our existing educational system is its rigidity which practically denies freedom for experimentation to teachers and institutions what is needed is a decentralized approach which can permit
each institution to go ahead at its own pace and tryout new ideas.
In order to make
educational system of the country real and useful, it is necessary that plans
should be made from bottom to top on the basis of problem pertaining to the
real field and they would not fail them.
Because of
institutional planning real problems of the school management get a basis and
it becomes possible to determine actual aims.
The capabilities of
student can be developed by formal planning according to the definite aims. The
students get an opportunity and they develop the qualities of patience,
forbearance, sympathy, local leadership etc. Teachers can be trained in
democratic life style.
Creativity is
inculcated in students and they develop the qualities of initiative
self-confidence, problem facing etc. It develops school system and gives
opportunity to the development of innovations.
It has resulted into
decentralization of educational planning in which the role of the head of the institution, teachers, students and
parents has been given recognition.
It helps in maximum resource utilization available at hand and aims at general
improvement of the institution. It is need based and democratic in nature and
covers almost all domains of the institution.
It encourages teachers to take initiative by
providing opportunity in annual improvement plans of institution. It has also
special contribution to make in national development.
