Professor M. B. Buch has listed the following characteristics of a good educational plan:
The plan must have well-defined goals and objectives. It should lead to some definite and important aspect of school improvement.
An institutional plan should be continuously developing in tune with the changes taking place in the environment. The plan cannot be rigid or fixed. It has to be modified in the light of new experiences.
The plan should lead to better understanding to the community and a greater rapport with it. Most of our institutions, especially the government ones, do not make use of the resources available in the community. A good institutional plan would help in this direction.
