EDUCATIONAL PLANNING
Basic Ideas and Concepts about Planning
Applied to any sector, and not necessarily to education, planning would mean the following basic ideas and concepts, according to Ernesto Franco:
1. Planning has to do with change: recognizing it, manipulating it, engineering it, and making things happen.
2. Planning is critical to managers because managers – whether of universities, cement plants, tourism agencies, or a government ministry – must anticipate the changes which will likely affect his organization, and plan and manage the deployment of resources to attain defined goals.
3. Planning is not an end by itself.
4. Planning is also not just avoiding the risks but actually taking the right risks to move from one level to another.
5. Planning makes managers aware of the environment and the forces for changing education – and comparing the school mission and the school competence against the opportunities and the risks in the environment.
6. Planning clears the ground for establishing goals and objectives; and good planners make tem simple, measurable, feasible and meaningful.
7. Planning provides tools and techniques for alternative choices and for examining options.
