book is a selection of articles from past issues of "Prospects,"
UNESCO's quarterly review of education. Most of the articles were
written in the late 1980s or early 1990s. They identify trends in
educational planning and management and explain why planning is more
necessary than ever. Following "Introduction: A New Scope for

"Managing Schools for Educational Quality and Equity: Finding the
Proper Mix To Make It Work" (Jacques Hallak); and (9) "The Role of

and (14) "Educational

.-
On the eve of the twenty-first century, education-3 planning has
become elastic. It has expanded its activity f. cover not only schools,
but nonformal education and questions of ed, cational quality as well.
Experience has also shown that, to be effecti; , planning 1ias to come
closer to the actionit must be flexible, inte, .ctive and pragmatic,
taking the educational, social, cultural, financial and humAn dimen-
sions into consideration. As planners juggle with a statisticai cocktail
of projections, analyses, indicators and targets, the challenge in terms
of training and capacity building is enormous.
Planning activities, far from disappearing, have developed at both the
local and central levels, both inside and outside ministries of educa-
tion and in the developing and industrialised countries.

With the exception of the essay "Managing schools for educational quality
and equity: finding the proper mix to make it work", the content of this book
is a selection of articles drawn from eight past issues of Prospects, UNESCO's
quarterly review of education, namely: No. 52 (vol. 14, no. 4, 1984); No. 58
(vol. 16, no. 2, 1986); No. 67 (vol. 18, no. 3, 1988); No. 69 (vol. 19, no. 1, 1989);
No. 70 (vol. 19, no. 2, 1989); No. 72 (vol. 19, no. 4, 1989); No. 76 (vol. 20, no. 4,
1990); No. 77 (vol. 21, no. 1, 1991).
The idea of collectthg these articles aryl publishing, them as a separate
volume originated with Zaghloul Morsy, at that time editor of Prospects, and
Professor Philip G. Altbach, until recently director of the Comparative
Education Center, State University of New York at Buffalo, and presently at
the School of Education, Boston College.
As of 1 January 1994, and with the retirement of Zaghloul Morsy,
editorial responsibility for Prospects has passed to the International Bureau of
Education (IBE) and, with it, the task of producing this book. Happily, the
IBE has been able to count upon the enthusiastic support of Zaghloul Morsy
and Philip Altbach, and to them it extends its deep gratitude. The index has
been prepared by Hyaeweol Choi, and to her too we extend our thanks.
The IBE invited Jacques Hallak, director, and Françoise Caillods of the
International Institute for Educational Planning, Paris, to select these works
and write an introduction, giving an up-to-date overview of the educational
planning situation over the past decade in different regions of the world.
Since 1989 there has been an unprecedented number of changes in the
status of countries, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. Many of the
texts reproduced here were written at a time when these changes had not
taken place and could hardly have been envisaged. Since these texts have
been reproduced directly from the pages of Prospects, these changes are not
reflected here and we apologise to readers beforehand for any expressions
that must now be considered out of date.
The first attempt to publish collections of articles from Prospects in
book form led to Higher Education in International Perspective: Tothard the 21st
