  • Educational Planning Need Based and Value Based: an Indian Perspective Bilal Tahir
    Educational Planning Need based and Value based: An Indian perspective Bilal Tahir JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA Contents The two systems of education: Need-based and Value-based Introduction to educational planning -Educational planning in the developed world -Educational planning in the developing world Defining education -Need-based education -Value-based education Education in religion The Indian perspective. Notes and References Education today can be thought of as a vital element with which an economy can develop its various sectors through long term investments. In the latter part of the 21st century, developing economies had acknowledged and accepted the significance of education in the overall growth of the economy. With a highly skilled labour force, countries could now boost national incomes and attain higher standards of living. Given this valuable aspect of education, should we only focus on the material relationship of our education system and the economy? Should we not pay heed also to the dynamic effects of our education system on the society also? Education is much beyond learning the alphabet, it is beyond acquisition of skills , receiving training, getting in a habit of going to school, it is not a mere tool with which one earns bread, it is beyond the mere polishing of the animal instincts of a being. In the present dynamic and complex scenario, education has become a commodity, an abstract commodity which attaches a label of value to a student and helps in the subsequent acquisition of a job for him. If at all education must be thought of as a good then education must be regarded a welfare good since we only inherit it from the society and not necessarily contribute back to it.
