Conclusion
From the analysis of the study the researcher concluded that the dynamic
nature of education and its environment has indeed made it imperative
that planning education should be result oriented for any school system
and for the purpose of sustainable development of the society. The study
also revealed that there is influence of forecasting, data and target
setting on the nature of panning education in the south-south of
Nigeria. Education planners should see these variables as major inputs
that should be handled with severity and dexterity so as to ensure
successful implementation of plans in education institutions.
Recommendations
- There is need for planners of our education system to always involved
experts/professionals in the planning process so as to ensure quality
in plan preparation towards meeting the needs of the society.
- The government should endeavour to assure the public of her interest
in conducting a reliable and acceptable census for the purposes of
planning.
- Education planners need to be taught to know the value of using
reliable data and information for planning purposes as data analysis
will reveal the developmental needs of the states.
- Planners of the education system should not depend on foreign planning
models in African environment; these have hardly solved the
educational problems.
