Planning is setting goals, strategies, and schedules to accomplish goals. It ensures effective time utilization, predicts and solves problems, and achieves shared visions. Good planning keeps teachers and students on track, achieves objectives, and provides direction. Academic planning involves environmental scanning, curriculum planning, enrollment management, human resources planning, and student services planning. It generates knowledge through research and teaching that is relevant to educational development. Academic planning at the university level involves the curriculum, unit plans, semester plans, and covering different learning levels through varied assignments and methodologies.
