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. `i 4 EDUCATIONAL PLANNING The International Dimension edited by Jacques Hallak Françoise Caillods WHO International Bureau of Education, Geneva International Institute for Educational Planning, Paris GARLAND PUBLISHING, INC. 1995 New York & London BEST COPY AVAILABLE 1995 UNESCO: International Bureau of Education Copyright P.O.

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 vii
