This will help the organization and its members to work on where, what and how to achieve their targets.
Then,implement the plan with contribution of stakeholders of the school.It is vital to follow the guidelines associated with the plan in order to have a smooth follow.Actions should be taken from the respective parties according to the date and procedure underlined with them.

Sustaining is the most critical and difficult stage in the improvement, hence it requires lot of assistance, courage and commitment from the whole community. If we cannot sustain the changes that have been brought to the organization, it will be like pouring water into a bucket with a whole at the bottom.
