2. Among the three (3) strategies for strategic planning, which would you prefer in your institution?
Defend your answer.

Among the three strategic planning, I would prefer the Focus Strategy since it emphasizes the needs of
the targeted group to gain a competitive advantage. Since every community varies in terms of norm,
beliefs, and social orientation it is important to consider and study their life preferences to be able to
inculcate positive change unto them, this is only possible if I will use focus strategy. For instance, our
institution is located in a particular barangay that has a low orientation when it comes to learning.
Observable in the community is the increasing number of out of school youth. Having undergone the
process of root cause analysis the school identified that one of the reason were the lack of family
motivation. Family seems to have a low faith that education can bring positive change into their life. This
serves a challenge for our school to encourage them to bring back their faith in education. This is also
become the basis of our school in crafing program and project that aims to produce competitive learner
that is confident and ready to compete with the world.

may vary in availability but can be maximize if properly exploited. This means that one has to identify the

educational planners in a nucleus of action. For a plan to be truly participatory and reflective of the
aspirations and needs of the people, it must initially involve in its formulation persons/institutions,
