Planning
Planning is the hallmark of every activity in life and organizations. It involves thinking and looking
ahead into the future. In other words, it is strategizing for the future and sequentially following those
activities in order of their priority for accomplishing result with the limited resources. The school
administrator does a lot of planning for every activity as to achieve educational objectives and goals
with the scarce resources available to the school. It is not an action administrators eventually carry
alone but a collective activity which involves the administrator, members of staff and also the
community which it situates. Upon the deplorable conditions, most schools are struggling to meet up
the demand for quality education, which made the school administration obviously difficult without
planning. Planning reduces the situation of numerous conflicting wants to be satisfied with the limited
resources where it so exists. The school seems to be an unserious venture in the eyes of the society
especially the public schools because of poor planning leading to inadequate attention by governments
especially in the less developed societies.
