Strategic planning could lead to a loss of innovativeness and authenticity, as well as inflexible and time-consuming plans being equated to strategy. There is an inherent knowledge gap in the relationship between planning and firm performance. This study intends to assess the impact of planning Universal Secondary education on students’ performance in rural secondary schools in the Masindi district. Methodology: The research was conducted using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, using a survey and a descriptive cross-sectional research design.
