There is no evidence to support the claim that developing countries teach more subjects or emphasize different subject matter in primary schools than developed countries do -- so efforts to change or simplify their primary curricula may be strongly resisted.

Journal articles, books, monographs, research papers, and lecture-discussion papers on educational planning covering the period from 1970 to mid 1977 are cited. Some outstanding literature not belonging to this period is also cited. The first section lists existing bibliographies in educational planning. Concept and general theory and methodology of educational planning are the foci of sections two and three. Section four deals with the educational planning process. Materials listed in section five focus on economic models, techniques (e.g., cost-benefit analysis and linear programming), and approaches (e.g., rate of return and residual) in educational planning. Sections six through ten, which comprise about half the publication, deal with educational planning in developing countries, including Africa and Latin America. Specifically discussed are factors influencing educational planning, special projects, curriculum planning, teaching, and teacher training.

It was in a context of unprecedented economic growth that educational planning developed in the 1960s. At the time, educational planners were entrusted with orchestrating the tremendous expansion of schooling, with the aim of both universalizing education and providing national economies with the qualified manpower needed. Such rigid mandatory planning is not suited to today's world, but other forms of planning such as policy analysis, policy dialog, labor market analysis, and strategic management are still valid. The following is a complete list of reprinted essays collected for this book.
