Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the nature of planning
education for sustainable development of schools in the South-South of
Nigeria. The design of the study was ex-post facto design. The
population of the study consisted of all education stakeholders in
selected states of South-South of Nigeria. The instrument for data
collection was a four point-Likert type questionnaire called Nature of
Educational Planning and Sustainable Development (NEPSDQ). The
instrument was administered to a sample of four hundred and ninety-nine
(499) education stakeholders randomly selected. The data collected from
the sample were respectively subjected to statistical analysis using one
way-analysis of variance (ANOVA). To further carry out the investigation
three (3) hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The major
result obtained indicated that forecasting/projection, data and target
setting are very essential input in planning education successfully.
These variables therefore have a significant influence in planning
education for sustainable development of the school system.
