What does the future hold for your school? How can you expect to achieve successful school improvement without an understanding of strategic planning?

The whole idea of strategic management in schools is that each school decides on its way forward. In doing this it must take into account its present strategic position, present and future external influences and what its stakeholders expect of it.
