Educational Planning for Development


Book Description

This volume aims to meet the serious need existing in Africa for a textbook dealing specifically with the subject of educational planning. The unlimited public demand for education and the resultant soaring costs of providing schooling has led to the establishment of planning units at national and regional/state levels in almost all countries in Africa. The requirements for qualified manpower to undertake educational development planning on a rational and systematic basis is therefore acutely felt everywhere. Educational planning is consequently increasingly becoming an essential component of education courses at certificate, diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
