PLANNING FOR SECONDARY
EDUCATION






It may be noted that if we have to undertake
the planning for secondary education, the levels
of decision making (i.e. planning ) may ideally
be the following :
National
State
District
Block/Taluka/Madal/Ward
Institution
9
Planning for all stages
The Status
• Baseline
• Benchmark
• Need
assessment
The vision
• What needs to
be changed?
• What is to be
achieved?
• The School
document on the
programme
Evaluation
• The indicator
based evaluation
• A monitoring
protocol
• Feedback to the
teachers and
teacher educators
Planning for Secondary
Education…
As far as secondary education is concerned, in
India at present planning is carried out only at
the following three levels :
 National
 State
 Institution


However, under the RMSA programme the
district level planning for secondary education
has been recently operationalized in the country.
11
PLANNING AT THE INSTITUTION
LEVEL
Institutional planning is the systematic and
comprehensive method of achieving the
objectives of the institution in an effective and
efficient manner.
 It may be noted that the responsibility of
planning at the institution level lies mainly with
the head of the institution.
 However, it is important to ensure that all
stakeholders are given opportunity to participate
in this process.

12
IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING AT
THE INSTITUTION LEVEL
Whether planning is carried out at the national
level, state level or district level, if it is not
supported and supplemented by planning at the
Institution level, no success can be achieved in
the field of education.
 In case excellent plans are developed at the
National, State or District level but the
Educational institutions (i.e. Schools) are not
functioning properly, excellent plan documents
developed at these levels will become
meaningless.

13
IMPORTANCE…
Ultimate aim of planning for education is to
ensure that schools function efficiently, teachers
teach regularly and children learn.
 However, these things can be ensured only by
the effective planning by the Institutions and
their proper implementation.
 So, the most critical aspects of planning for
education is the planning at and by the
educational institutions.
 Thus, the role of Institutional Heads is very
important in educational planning.

14
INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING
There are two important objectives of
planning and these are (i) rational
allocation of resources and (ii) optimum
utilisation of resources.
 Planning at the national, state and even at
the district level generally focuses only on
the first objective of planning i.e. rational
allocation of resources

15
INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING…
The second objective of planning i.e.
optimum utilization of resources can be
met only through appropriate institutional
planning.
 So, focus in planning exercise carried out
at the institution level may be more on
ensuring optimum utilization of resources
and relatively less on estimation of
requirements of additional resources.

16
INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING :
OBJECTIVES
To ensure the smooth and regular running
of the Institutions for un-interrupted
teaching/learning process.
 To improve the methods of Instruction.
 To improve library, Laboratory Services
and Equipments.
 To ensure optimum utilization of existing
facilities.

17
OBJECTIVES…
To harness Community Resources.
 To involve the local community, parents
etc. to improve the school.
 To develop the co-curricular programmes
like games and sports, cultural
programmes, social services etc.

18
INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING :
STEPS INVOLVED
Step 1 : Estimation of needs of the
Institution.
 Step 2 : Comprehensive survey of the
existing resources.
 Step 3 : Estimation about how far the
existing resources (human and physical
both) are utilized in the Institution.

19
STEPS INVOLOVED…
Step 4 : Formulation of plan for Institution
- Plan not to be too ambitions
- Plan should be realistic and achievable.
- Prioritization of all activities to be done.


Step 5 : Estimation of additional resources
required and Mobilization of resources
locally.
20
INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING :
IMPORTANT POINTS
It is desired not make very ambitious plans which means
it should be preferably within the reach of the
institutions’ existing resources.
 A prioritization should be made to decide which are the
activities that need immediate action and which are the
activities that can be taken later on.
 Improvement in the quality of education at the
institution level may be considered as the main aim of
the institutional planning.
 Ensuring optimum utilization of resources (human,
material and financial) is key aspect of institutional
planning.

21
STEPS TO BE TRAKEN BY THE
INSTITUTIONAL HEADS





Hold talks with teachers individually and then also
conduct general meeting of teachers.
Hold discussion with staff to undertake a comprehensive
survey of existing infrastructure in the institution. Also
do a stock taking of resources available in the institution.
Involving staff in preparation of school improvement
plan for the institution.
Discussion on implementation of school improvement
plan.
Monitoring and Evaluation of programme implemented in
the Institution.
22
Steps to Proceed
 Role of UDISE in Planning
 How to Proceed ?
 Few Steps to be Initiated.
Role of UDISE in planning
1. For preparing a need based plan we required lots of data/information to achieve
the goals.
2. We have several sources of data available at state level like House Hold Survey,
Village Educational Register, UDISE system etc.
3. Using the UDISE system you can generate lots of data regarding :
1. Schools (Management / Category)
• School Grant / Minor Repair
2. Enrolment (Gender / Social Category )
• Excursion Trip
• Special intervention according to Gender Gap/
Enrolment under different socio groups
• GER / NER / Transition Rate
Fall in
Role of UDISE in planning
1. Teacher (Trained / Untrained)
• Teacher Salary
• In-service Training
• Educational Tours etc.
• PTR
2.
Infrastructural information
•
Additional Teacher / Classrooms requirement
•
Gaps (Library / Computer / Activity rooms)
•
Water Facility
•
Toilet Facilty

Over all Planning for RMSA for the year
2013-14 should as the first step towards
subsuming the schemes of;
 A.) ICT @ schools.
 B.) IEDSS
 C.) Vocationalisation of Higher
Secondary Education.
 D.)Girls Hostel.
 E.) RMSA.
All above under the umbrella of RMSA as
Integrated AWP &B.
Integrated Planning of Infrastructure &
Civil Works
Prior to drafting of the plan document:- The
district planning team should go through:
1.






A.) All the sections of Integrated Framework of
Implementation of RMSA.
B.) Planning and Appraisal Manual of RMSA.
C.) Guide lines of the schemes of ICT@ School.
D.) Integrated Education of the Disabled at
Secondary Stage (IEDSS).
E.) Construction and running of Girl’s Hostel.
F.) Vocationalisation of Higher Secondary
Education.
2. Consideration of the activities/ provision
available in a school under the above
schemes, apart from RMSA activities.
3. Planning, as per the RMSA Planning &
Appraisal Manual, should start at the school
with the School Improvement Plan in which
the “Whole School Approach” planning
should be adopted.
4. Convergence of activities and provisions
under the various schemes of secondary
school sector may be ensured.
Example:
A. while developing the school improvement plan
for a particular school, apart from interventions
available under RMSA, interventions and
activities under ICT @ school, IEDSS,
Vocationalisation of Higher Secondary Education
as well as linking the Girls Hostel facilities with
the school should be listed and documented.
B. Interventions under these schemes should be
proposed in the School Improvement Plan.
C. This approach should be followed for all the
schools in the district and as far as possible

Strengthening of Existing Schooling
Provisions
A. RMSA: Improving enabling conditions in schools.
Providing required infrastructure in secondary
schools.
B. ICT@ school -Computer Labs.
C. IEDSS:
1.Enabling infrastructure in terms of physical
access.
2.Toilet available for disabled.
3.Provision of disabled friendly Architectural/
structural approaches.
4. Improvement of schools in such a way that the
school may be made barrier free for easy access
as well as to retain the child with disability.
