APPROACHES TO
EDUCATIONAL
PLANNING
 SOCIAL DEMAND
APPROACH

It requires the education authorities to provide schools and find

facilities for all students who demand admission and who are qualified to enter.
In this method are involved the following steps:

(a)To estimate the proportion of students completing school education and are likely to enter into
higher education.
(b)To estimate how many of these successful school leaving students would actually apply for
admission to colleges.
(c)To determine how many of the applicants should be given admission to higher education.
(d)To determine the length and duration of the study .
 MANPOWER
APPROACH
Focus on forecasting the manpower needs of the economy.
That is, it stresses output from the educational system to
meet the man-power needs at some future date. The
approach focuses on 3 main elements, namely:

1. Specification of the composition of manpower need at

some future date e.g. 2015-2020
2. Specification of man power availabilities e.g. in 1995.
3. Specification which reconciles the former specification
with the later.

RATE OF RETURN
APPROACH
According to this approach, investment in
education should take place in such a way that
the returns from the investment are equal to
the returns from other kinds of investment of
capital, e.g., investment in industry. This
principle is known as ‘equi-marginal returns’
in economic theory and could be extended to
educational sector.

INTRA-EDUCATIONAL EXTRAPOLATION
APPROACH
The intra-educational approach extrapolation approach
model bases planning on the available data and focuses
on one program (or an aspect of a program) at a time. It
analyzes the time and funding required in light of the
needs for the specific program, and promotes workshops
to involve members of the institution in decision-making
activities.
DEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTION MODEL

Demographic development has become a

source of planning.
Estimating the population that future
educational system is to serve.
Useful to take decision on new
school/college permission.
SOCIAL JUSTICE
APPROACH
This is an approach plans for "social development based
on the goals oriented delineated by the Constitution of the
country. It seeks to meet educational needs of
underprivileged citizens and minorities by focusing on
equal opportunity.
