Guidelines for Whole School Development Planning (WSDP)

Defining WSDP• A holistic school development plan is combination of

educational plan that guides the infrastructure plan and its effective usage in the learning processes.

• Whole School Development Plan has to reflect the vision of a school and ways to achieve it.

• It is a master plan and base document for school’s educational and infrastructure work as well as its development in phases.

• Its planning is seen as an evolving process rather than one time activity.

Whole School Development Planning

1. Background of community

2. History of school

3. Vision of school

4. School Data

5. Analysis of school data

6. Long term Educational Plan and Infrastructure Development Plan

7. Estimate for implementing for one year Action plan

8. Source of Funds and Convergence for above Action plan

9. Implementation Mechanism for above Action plan

Contents of WSDP

The Average size of school across the country is of about 3.8 classrooms.

In Bihar, this average is 4.5 classrooms in primary and 3.4 classrooms as average of all schools

This is 3.5 in Meghalaya and 22.0 in Chandigarh

[All data based on DISE 2010-11]

Whole School Development Plan

About 3,08,000 Classrooms required across country for implementing RTE

In Bihar, 1,33,000 classrooms are required to implement RTE.

Student Classroom Ratio (SCR) is 83 in Bihar (Average 31 across India)

and of this 77% are functional

92% Bihar Schools have Drinking water and 44% Schools have Boundary Wall.

Manifestation in infrastructure developmentDevelop entire school as place for learning – classrooms, corridors, outdoors.

Developing outdoor play spacesDiscarded-Tyre : Adventure playground

Developed play spaces. Play space is not hampered by unplanned / undesirable construction

Manifestation in infrastructure development

Well ventilated, naturally lit, cheerful indoor spaces

Our emerging vision of schools

Comprehensive child friendly inclusive design would include the following :

• Approach to the school and spaces• Play ground and outdoor spaces• Play equipment• Corridors and classrooms• Learning aids • Display and storage provisions• Doors and window• Switch boards• Toilets and drinking water points• Furniture

All these should be designed for independent use by all children, including children with special needs (CWSN)

Manifestation in infrastructure development

Children can independently handle and operate hardware

Our emerging vision of schools

Manifestation in infrastructure development

Self engaging learning or play elements are scattered all across the school premises, such that all children are engaged in some activity or other.

Our emerging vision of schools

Manifestation in infrastructure development

• Sense of ownership and responsibility amongst community and parents

• Space for parents and teachers to interact and reflect on children’s progress in the school

Land terrains of our County- Flat terrains (0-50)- Min slope terrains (5-150)- Moderate slope terrains (15-300)- Steep slope terrains (> 300)

• External features to keep in mind to select the school site.• Sufficient land size• Features of good schools site• Thermal comfort • Lighting• Ventilation• Type of building systems and their selection

- Load bearing masonry system- Frame system

• Hazard resistant construction- Earthquake hazard- Cyclone hazard- Flood hazard - Man-made hazard

- Fire- Open barbed wire fencing- Unprotected deep water body- Underground sewage discharge- High tension wire- Stagnated water

Ensure School has adequate water and sanitationEnsure all the children have easy access to potable waterEnsure separate sanitary blocks available for boys and girlsEnsure an affordable, sustainable and institutional set-up for

operation, maintenance and monitoring of water and sanitation service- the school

Establish a system to ensure all the children one aware of key hygiene behavior and adopting them in their day to day life

Organize health check up camps, to identify water and sanitary related diseases in children and arrange referral service.
