Developing a comprehensive five-year plan for an educational institution is a multifaceted endeavor that requires careful consideration and foresight. It begins with laying the groundwork through basic planning and initial steps. The initial phase involves a deep assessment of the institution's current state, identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis). This step is vital in understanding the internal and external factors affecting the institution. Concurrently, engaging stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, and community partners, is crucial for obtaining diverse perspectives and buy-in.
