place for the students and teach in the example of
Jesus Christ.

educational aspirations of the church in the region (Handbook, 2019, p. 7).

graduated in 1894.

students with Apple iPad, which would allow them to have a better engagement in
learning and the evolving class curriculum (Catholic, 2022, p.7).

Scanning is a tool used by many
organizations to collect information and be
aware of the external environment.

opportunity to contribute to the strategic
planning process which is of vital importance
for the survival of an organization”
