APPROACHES TO

EDUCATIONAL
PLANNING

Prepared by: Daicerie R. Santos

EDUCATION-OUTPUT RATIO METHOD

This method is based on the capital-output

ratio approach and might be called the
education-output ratio method.
It relates the stock of educated people and the
flow of children and students completing
education at the different levels directly to the
national output of goods and services without
passing through the intervening stage of making
manpower forecasts.
AGGREGATE METHOD
This method tries to relate educational needs
to the whole demand of society for
education rather than to the level of output
or to manpower, and is based on norms and
patterns which emerge from an empirical
study of the educational situation in
countries at different stages of development.
AGGREGATE METHOD
(a) the proportion of GNP devoted to
education globally and (if possible) by sector.
(b) the proportion of public expenditure
devoted to education and its different
sectors.
(c) the proportion of over-all investment
devoted to education.
(d) the proportion of the population enrolled at
the different educational levels.

(e) the above information corrected by estimates

of wastage.

(f) the proportions of the school-age and student

population enrolled at different levels.
