Educational Institution

An educational institution is a place where learners of different ages gain education. There are two types of
education: formal and informal.

• Formal education – conventional classroom setup where structured methods of learning are administered.

• Informal education – anything learned independently outside the conventional classroom setup.
Vision Statement

A vision statement conveys the desired end of an academic institution. It is usually a

one-sentence statement that describes the distinct and motivating long-term desired
transformation resulting from institutional programs.

Vision should be clear, memorable and concise with an average length of 14 words.
Mission Statement

A mission statement is a one-sentence relating the intention of your institution

existence. This communicates “What you do or Who you do this for”.

Mission must be clear by using simple language with an average of 5 to 20 words.

Value Statement

A value statement, or the core values, is a list of fundamental doctrines that guide and
direct the educational institution. This sets the moral direction of the institution and its

action.

Values statements consider the following questions:

• What values are distinct to our educational institution?
• What value should direct our institution?
Objectives

Educational Objectives, or goals, are short statements that learners should achieve within or at
the end of the course or lesson.
