Written report on school vision and mission
The document discusses the vision and mission statements of a school. It defines a vision statement as describing what the school wants to become, while a mission statement specifies the steps to achieve the vision. It provides guidance on formulating both statements through brainstorming and consensus-building activities. An example vision statement envisions the school as "state of the art" with quality graduates, and an example mission statement commits to enhancing leadership, acquiring facilities, and strengthening support services through stakeholder links.
