 Benefits of Institutional
Planning
Since Teachers are also involved in the planning process,
therefore makes the process more democratic in nature.
It is more realistic in nature as because it involves data collected
from the actual stake holders – students, teachers and parents.
It avoids wastage as it is founded on knowledge about the actual
needs of the students and the community.
Since this process involves an all-round approach where first-
hand knowledge is available from the teachers and students on the
strengths, weakness and problems that arise in different situations
and also in the classrooms.
 Institutional Planning, therefore, should be a
working plan, based on the capacity of teachers the
needs of the pupils and the local community. If it is
followed intensively, the teaching, organization and
administration become systematic and effective.
