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.
