Abstract

The approaches to defining the features of strategic planning of the college development as professional pre-higher education in the current conditions of the educational reform are considered in the article. Starting from 2020, Ukrainian colleges and technical schools will train specialists for the proficiency level Junior bachelor and will no longer recruit enrollees for an educational-proficiency level Junior Specialist, as provided by the Law of Ukraine “On Professional Higher Education”. Therefore, the administrations of colleges are determining the strategy of the development and management of educational institutions in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine. The authors study the essence and content of planning for the college development, identify the main functions and tasks, identify the main stages and methodological approaches of planning for the development, and activities of colleges on the basis of strategic management. The authors point out that the choice of strategy as a model of action, in which the future must necessarily be better than the past and the plan itself determines specific future actions to achieve the set goals is the basis of the approach for the strategic planning at the college, as professional pre-higher education. Both the external and internal capabilities of the college are taken into account while developing the plan. The authors outline the main perspectives, strategic goals of the college, and generalized indicators for planning college development. The content of the strategic plan of the college is reviewed and it is emphasized that it should correspond to the defined mission and directions of the accepted policy of the professional pre-higher education. This plan is decomposed into an annual plan to implement the strategy. The authors consider the development of a number of targeted programs facilitates the successful implementation of the strategic plan of the college. This approach transfer the strategic visions and measurable indexes that can be brought to all levels of the college management system and resource allocation, as well as providing feedback, training, and ongoing monitoring of the strategy implementation. In this case, the college’s activities will be more transparent and manageable.
