Planning At the National Level

Stress on the systemic and systematic ways of designing educational plans for society; emphasizes the critical
function of defining issues first as an entry point to any planning process which is explained step-by-step.
EDUCATIONAL PLANNING AT THE NATIONAL AND SUB-NATIONAL LEVELS
Recognizing the need for adequate and effective planning to pursue development efforts, the Philippine government
has adopted the strategy of integrated planning and management. For this reason, planning mechanisms, at the
national and sub-national levels has been established, according to the Department of Education.
The Planning Mechanisms on the national level, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) has
been created as mandated by the Constitution to assume the central role of coordinating planning at the aggregate
level and overall program implementation. It is charged with the task of planning and overseeing government
development programs. It is likewise serves to coordinate development policies and monitor project activities.
On the provincial level, the Provincial Development Council has been organized. This council is responsible for the
development of the province, chaired by the Provincial Governor. The members are the Provincial Superintendent of
schools and the heads of the other government agencies/sectors in the province.
I n the municipal level, the Municipal Development Council has been organized Chaired by the Municipal Mayor, this
council is responsible for the development of the town. The members are the District Supervisor, the MLGCD
Municipal Development Officers and the local heads of the other sectors.
The Educational Planning Process at National and Sub-National Levels
Each sector is responsible in the preparation of plans to be integrated into the national/ regional/provincial/city
and/or municipal development plans, depending on the location and/or level. The education plan, like those of other
sectors, constitutes only one component in these development plans, so that the education sector continuously
coordinates horizontally and vertically with the other sectors.
Horizontal coordination and linkages mean that the educational system works with other agencies/sectors in the
region/provinces, etc. to formulate the plans. On the other hand, vertical coordination and linkages mean that all the
principals/school heads prepare and submit their plans to the school division; division to regional office to the
Planning Service, DepEd. Subsequently, the DepEd’s plan becomes a part of the National Development Plan.
In the preparation of the educational plans, the DepEd Planning Service coordinates with all DepEd’s offices,
bureau, agencies, units and centers, and down to the regional, division, district and institutional offices. The plans,
programs and projects prepared by these offices are submitted to the Planning Service for analysis and integration
in the National Plan of the DepEd. The final draft of the DepEd plan is submitted to the Education Secretary for
approval. Then the Plan is submitted to the NEDA and to the Budget Commission for approval and integration to the
overall National Development Plan.
On the regional level, the counterpart of the Planning Service Office is the Planning Unit, headed by the Assistant
Regional Director, Planning units have been organized on the regional level in view of the present emphasis on
countryside development with its increasing demands in the planning operations of the region.
Necessity for Linkages and Coordination
At any level of the educational enterprise, or in any segment of the personnel group involve in education, designing
the kind of education we want and ought to have for the future is a difficult but not an impossible task. There has to
be a built-in and a clear implication for all levels of education, the so called “linkage system”, vertical and horizontal,
so as to get the change disseminated and adopted in an actual school situation.
Purposes of Educational Planning on the National and Sub-National Levels

1. See the emerging problems sooner and in closer prospective.
2. Identify more closely the various options that may be available in dealing with the emerging problems.
3. Assess the relative merits and feasibilities of all proposed alternatives.
