 PRINCIPLE

•A basic rule that guides or

influences thought or
action
 METHODICAL
Educational planning needs to have a perfect
formulation. The procedure and processes
should be carefully formulated, systematically
carried out. Its objective must be clear.
Coordination and integration needs to be
developed among various components, activities
terms of people involved in the planning.
 NATION BUILDING
Educational planning should be recognized
and carried out as an integral element and
aspect of national planning. It is widely known
that social and national development can be
achieved through a well-developed system of
education.
 FLEXIBILITY
Educational planning has to be
continuous process requiring
constant modification and adaptation
of plans to meet the regular and
emergency needs.
 FUNCTIONAL, PRAGMATIC & PRACTICAL
The plans developed should be
workable and must be such as it can be
implemented. The plans should be
realistic and feasible. It should conform to
the situational realities and at the same
time adaptable to future requirements.
 RESEARCH BASED
Any kind of planning works best if it is
based on sound research. Similarly,
educational planning should be based on
systematic research and the decisions
involved in the plan should not be
arbitrary or institutional.
 CONTINUOUS PARTICIPATION
Implementation of the plans at
different stages would command the
involvement of many people and
several groups in any kind of
organization. The involvement of these
people may contribute significantly to
more functional and practical decision-
making.
 COMPREHENSIVE
The plan should not offer
guidelines but specific and
descriptive recommendations
of what is to be done, why is it
to be done, and how is it to be
done.
 CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
The plans should be
considered as things that
are fixed, they should be
ready for evaluation.
 NEED- BASED
Educational planning is done with
the intention of meeting the needs of
the country or people. Hence the
social, manpower and economic
needs of the nation among others
have to be the center of all
consideration.
 SITUATION ORIENTED
There cannot be a single best plan for
all purposes. Each plan would have a
unique character which would be
determined by the needs of the situation.
Specific and unitary plans can be
prepared to solve immediate problems.
Similarly short-term and long-term plans
may be prepared.
