The School Development Plan (SDP) is a three-year strategic plan prepared by the School Management Committee to improve the school. It combines the school's priorities, measures to raise standards, dedicated resources, and intended outcomes and targets. The SDP emphasizes that school improvement is the responsibility of each school. Schools are best positioned to identify improvement areas and implement changes to achieve better pupil outcomes. Regular self-evaluation must be part of the SDP process, with resulting actions and targets included in the plan. The SDP components include enrollment estimates, required infrastructure, equipment and teachers over three years, additional financial needs, substitute teachers, and education arrangements for disadvantaged children.
