Besides, the contribution of strategic planning team in plan preparation was weak, lack of professional support of secondary school supervisors; sub city education office and lack of conducting self-assessment to identify the current status of the school were observed. Low performance of, principals, strategic planning team, in taking corrective action and timely monitoring of strategic plan was observed.
