Introduction

A SWOT analysis is a tool that can provide prompts to the governors, management teachers and
staff involved in the analysis of what is effective and less effective in the schools systems and
procedures, in preparation for a plan of some form ( that could be an audit, assessments, quality
checks etc.). In fact a SWOT can be used for any planning or analysis activity which could impact
future finance, planning and management decisions. It can enable you (the governors and
management) to carry out a more comprehensive analysis. We shall discuss about the SWOT analysis
in Education levels.
