IntroductionThe achievement of anything worthwhile in education and other circles depends on the achievement of one's objectives and goals (Glenn 1). The educational program provides the model through which students and teachers achieve their educational goals. In simpler terms, an educational program provides an educational structure to propel students, administrators, and teachers toward a sense of academic progression. When analyzed holistically, an educational program provides administrators with a dynamic and comprehensive curriculum to guide the learning activities of existing and prospective students (Glenn 1). On a much broader platform, college and university administrators have systematically used different educational programs to attract students (Glenn 1). It has also been observed that teachers use the programs to evaluate the performance and progress of their students in their educational activities. In fact, for student progression, the educational program has often been used to evaluate student performance to determine whether or not a student is suitable to progress to a higher level of education. This therefore means that in the absence of an educational program, teachers can never be sure whether they have actually imparted the knowledge necessary to enable students to move from one level of education to another. The importance of an educational program, however, cuts both ways (teachers-students) because students also need an educational program to determine the academic requirements of a given course. Without program focus, students can get lost in a maze of academic courses (which would not lead them in a given direction).
