Abstract
In the rapidly evolving landscape of global education, long-term planning and adaptive strategies are essential for institutions seeking to remain relevant and responsive. Scenario-strategic analysis and planning offer a forward-looking methodological framework that enables educational leaders to navigate uncertainty, align institutional goals with socio-economic trends, and design flexible strategies. This article explores the conceptual foundations, methodological tools, and practical applications of scenario-strategic analysis in education. It highlights how scenario-building, foresight techniques, and strategic mapping support robust educational planning, particularly in environments characterized by volatility, complexity, and rapid technological change. The paper also examines challenges in implementing scenario-based strategies and offers a model for institutional integration of these approaches.
