    There are 5 main stages of educational planning: (1) collecting statistical information to analyze the current education system, (2) formulating policy proposals to address gaps in the system, (3) projecting needs and programming by forecasting enrollment, teachers, facilities, and costs for 15-20 years using ratio and cohort methods, (4) costing the educational plans to understand costs to institutions, society, and learners, and (5) implementing annual plans, evaluating strengths/weaknesses, and creating conditions for effective implementation of the overall program.

    5 Main Stages of Educational Planning

     Article shared by Deepti Verma


     
    There are five main stages of educational planning:

    (1) Collection and Analysis of Statistical Information:


     At this stage, relevant information about the system of education and concerned
    socio-economic factors is collected so as to provide the quantitative basis for
    projections aimed at the future development of the educational system.

    (2) Evolving Policy Proposals:


    The statistical information collected helps in identifying the gaps, weaknesses and
    shortcoming and provides the planners with a clear idea of the existing
    conditions. This helps the planners in formulating policy proposals aimed at
    accomplishing pre-determined objectives.

    (3) Projections, Programming and Project Analysis:


     An effective plan necessitates projections of all the inputs of the educational
    system – students, teachers, administrators, school buildings and classrooms,
    equipment and financial requirements.
    Projections have to be made of the future nature and size of the demographic
    composition of population for a period of fifteen to twenty years. Since student is
    the focus of the educational process, projection should begin with the school and
    the college age-groups drawn on a yearly basis in terms of enrolments. There are
    two commonly employed procedures available for scientific projections:
    (i)
    The enrolment ratio method which is based on the projection of past and present
    ratios of school enrolment or school attendance into the future. It requires
    estimates of population by age and serenading school enrolment and/or
    attendance data.
    (ii)
    The grade cohort method which is also known as cohort survival method. This
    method also makes use of the past and current enrolment data by grade for every
    school level and for approximately seven-year and ten-year data for primary and
    secondary levels respectively.
    (4) Costing Educational Plans:
    Education is an activity wherein the institution and the society bear part of the
    cost and the learner bears part of the cost. In order to improve the formulation
    and implementation of educational plans, it is necessary to understand the
    methods of costing education and the problems associated with it.
    (5) Decision, Implementation and Evaluation:
    A five-year plan needs to be broken up into annual plans. Each annual plan is
    scrutinized, discussed and criticized in relation to a review of previous year’s
    strengths, weaknesses and achievements. At this stage, the necessary conditions
    for effective implementation of the programme need to be created. Thereafter,
    the actual operations take place.
