 EDUCATIONAL PLANNING

• Educational planning is the process of making arrangements or preparations to facilitate the training,
instruction or study that leads to the acquisition of skills or knowledge, or the development of reasoning
and judgment.
• “Educational Planning is a continuous process of obtaining and analyzing facts and, from empirical base,
of providing information to decision makers on how well the education system is accomplishing its goals
in particular, on how the cost effectiveness of education programmes and specific projects can be
improved.”
• Educational planning deals with the future, drawing enlightenment from the past. It is the springboard for
future decisions and actions, but it is more than a mere blueprint. Planning is a continuous process---
