NATIONAL PLAN FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
IN SOUTH AFRICA
The
victory over the apartheid state in 1994 set policy
makers in all spheres of public life the mammoth task
of overhauling the social, political, economic and cultural
institutions of South Africa to bring them in line with
the imperatives of a new democratic order. The vision
for the transformation of the higher education system
was articulated in Education White Paper 3: A Programme
for the Transformation of Higher Education (1997). Central
to this vision was the establishment of a single, national
co-ordinated system, which would meet the learning needs
of our citizens and the reconstruction and development
needs of our society and economy.
This article
provides an overview of the strategic planning process.
It is intended to help you understand the concept of
strategic planning, the need for strategy in higher
education, and the dynamics of the university-based
strategic planning. It includes a brief history of strategic
planning, emerging challenges in higher education, basic
models and steps of a strategic planning process, adapting
strategic planning to unique needs of higher education,
and a look into the strategic planning at the California
State University system. A glossary of terms and an
annotated bibliography are included.
