In estimating the forward ;elation of educ'al planning to SE development, the following stages are necessary: (1) making projections of the future size & age composition of the pop & the movement of the economy; (2) turning the econ data into requirements re diff occup's; (3) converting the occup'al data into its educ 'al component; (4) forecasting the scholastic measures required to produce these educ'al characteristics; (5) determining the optimum relation which should exist between the diff sectors of the educ'al system; (6) studying the likely results of alternative technologies of teaching; (7) forecasting the required flow between the levels, on alternative pedagogical standards & selection criteria; (8) studying the likely results of alternative technologies of teaching; (9) establishing what elements have to be maintained or introduced into the educ'al system to exploit fully the `external economies' flowing from investment in educ, (such as res, the development of elites & innovators, the formation of stable responsible Mc's, & the promotion of managerial, entrepreneurial, & soc skills in the pop); (10) assessing & comparing the unit costs of diff types of educ'al technology & means of developing the educ'al system. Such projections & surveys must be seen against a pattern of norms derived from experience & country studies, among them: (A) the % of GNP devoted to educ both globally & by sectors; (B) the % of public revenue so spent; (C) the % of public investment made in educ & its diff sectors; (D) the % of investment in educ & its diff sectors as compared with overall investment; (E) the % of the pop enrolled at the diff educ'al levels; (F) the same % corrected in the light of information re attendance, & (G) the % of the student pop receiving instruction in diff levels & types of educ. Little has been done so far to construct a series of actual & possible norms of the kind indicated, but progress is being made as statistics & reports by survey missions grow. The final educ'al plan must be feasible pedagogically, must attempt to 'optimize' the contribution of educ to SE development, & must show the necessary priorities between its sectors, as well as its priorities in the country's overall plan. It must also give a timetable for carrying it into effect, & contain a sufficient area of maneouver so that it can be reviewed periodically & adjusted. Modified AA.
