In Turkey, the concept of strategic planning is often misunderstood and as a result, a large number of practical problems have arisen. Thus, strategic plans which were prepared and implemented in schools have not been realistic, functional or practical. Furthermore, educators throughout Turkey have become very skeptical of strategic planning. For successful implementation of the strategic planning process, it has been suggested that educators analyze and examine the values of the organization, the functional and situational plans, as well as the establishment of an effective communication network among school stakeholders. Furthermore, it is essential that the leadership/management of the school strategic planning engages the support of stakeholders’ awareness in this process. In addition, it is suggested that the creation of a conceptual foundation for strategic planning, including awareness, stakeholder participation and promotion of the strategic planning process should occur. It is also suggested that schools collaborate with other schools and universities to share ideas and support for planning.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nAs a result of globalization, the concept of strategic planning has become very important for organizational success in education. Mintzberg (1994) defines strategic planning as a \"formalized procedure to produce articulated result, in the form of an integrated system of decision\" (p. 12). Strategic planning is critical in terms of minimizing the uncertainty of future and to provide sustainable competitive advantages (Demir & Yılmaz, 2010) . It can assist an organization in helping to plan for the future (Güçlü, 2003) . The importance of strategic planning stems from a focus on the concepts of mission, vision and identifying developmental directions for the organization. It helps the organization adapt to a changing environment, thinking systematically, and encouraging effective management and administrative efficiency. As a result, it is possible through strategic planning to evaluate opportunities and threats, determine the strengths and weaknesses of the organization, concentrate their attention on the vital issues and challenges faced by the organization (Gürer, 2006; Altan, Kerman, Aktel & Öztop, 2013) .  \nSTRATEGIC PLANNING IS LAW  \nIn Turkey, preparing strategic plan in public organizations became compulsory with Development Plans and “Public Financial Management and Control Law” in 2003. The purpose of this law was to require public administrations (Kamu Mali Yönetimi ve Kontrol Kanunu, 2003) to  \n• create the mission and vision within the framework of development plans, programs, the related laws and the basic principles which they adopt;  \n• determine strategic goals and measurable objectives;  \n• measure performance in accordance to the predetermined indicators and the monitor the process of preparing strategic plans ina cooperative manner.  \nIn order for public administrations to provide the desired level and quality services, they must have their budgets and projects aligned to their strategic plan, which includes annual goals, objectives and performance indicators (Kamu Mali Yönetimi ve Kontrol Kanunu, 2003) . Furthermore, the Strategic Planning Workbook for Public and Non-profit Organizations, developed by the secretariat of State Planning Organization, was put into effect in 2010, the same year that strategic planning was implemented in all elementary and secondary schools in Turkey (Altınkurt, 2010) .  \nRECENT STUDIES ON STRATEGIC PLANNING IN EDUCATION  \nDuring the past two decades, there has been much research and discussion regarding strategic planning for educational organizations in Turkey (Ağaoğlu, Şimşek, & Altınkurt, 2006; Altınkurt, 2010; Altınkurt & Bali, 2009; Arabacı, 2002, 2005; Arslan & Altınışık, 20","cbCaibRSyHjD7WDB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibRSyHjD7WDB","pdf",140386,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Strategic planning is law\n# Recent studies on strategic planning in education","[{\"question\":\"When was strategic planning implemented in Turkey’s K-12 schools?\",\"answer\":\"The paper states that strategic planning began being implemented in all elementary and secondary schools in Turkey in 2010.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do many strategic plans in schools fail to be practical?\",\"answer\":\"It describes strategic planning as often misunderstood, leading to plans that are not realistic, functional, or practical, and generating skepticism among educators.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors are suggested for successful implementation of the strategic planning process?\",\"answer\":\"Educators are advised to analyze organizational values, functional and situational plans, and establish effective communication networks among stakeholders, with school leadership engaging stakeholder awareness.\"}]","Strategic Planning in Education in Turkey - Abstract | PDF",1792095074,13]
