Kerala: Master plan for all schools
Thiruvananthapuram: All Schools in the state have been asked to present the master plan they prepared for improving academic standards on February 12. SCERT director J. Prasad said they had provided guidelines and the template and the schools would have prepared it by now. The schools will present the master plan before Parent Teacher Association, School Development Committee, representatives of Local Self Governments, alumni associations and teachers, academic experts of that region, social and cultural activists and people in general.
“After discussions, they should send a copy of the modified master plan to the deputy directors," he told DC. DPI K.V. Mohankumar said the plan would be consolidated at the district level to identify general aspects of schools in the state. The master plan should reflect the basic needs including the remedial measures to improve academic standards. The schools have also been asked to prepare an infrastructure master plan. “These would help planners identify the needs of each school. Both of these documents would form the basis of the intervention needed,” he said.
Academic Master Plan is a record that explains duties or activities to be undertaken after a proper plan on how an educational institution would be. It is a delineation of plans and projects orchestrated for the upliftment of the institution according to the changing novel educational perspectives to suit the future. It comprises three stages – views on the educational institution, goals developed according to views and changing needs of the future and action plans for the goals.
