Strategic Planning in Schools: Theoretical Study and Strategic Implementation in School Context
Keywords:
Strategic Planning in Schools, Theoretical Study, Strategic Implementation, School ContextAbstract
This study aims to examine the concept of strategic planning in the context of schools and analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors of its implementation. Using a qualitative approach with a literature study method, this study examines various library sources such as scientific journals, books, and policy reports related to strategic management of education. Data were analyzed descriptively-analytical with a thematic approach. The results of the study indicate that the understanding of strategic planning by school actors is still diverse, influenced by managerial literacy and leadership background. The main factors for successful strategy implementation are transformational leadership, school community involvement, and flexibility to policy changes. Conversely, obstacles arise from limited resources, resistance to change, and weak evaluation systems. Schools that successfully implement strategies effectively generally adopt an adaptive and community-based approach. This study suggests the need to strengthen strategic management training and develop contextual and flexible planning models. These findings are expected to be theoretical and practical contributions to improving the quality of school management in Indonesia.
