In 1917, there was a revolution in Russia which lead to the emergence of socialism and by 1923; socialistic ideas gave birth to modern educational planning. Russia had a 5 year development plan and was the 1st kind of plan in the world. The western world was very skeptical about this kind of planning in Russia. It was not until economists came up and pointed out the link between education and economic growth and development in the 1950’s that a need arose to plan. Therefore the western world became convinced that education can be panned. Two decades later, the western world started following the Russian example of planning. In 1944, the British came up with an education act and in the act it was meant compulsory for the local educational Boards to draw up educational plan. In 1951 in France, education became part of the national development plan and many countries of the world except USA began to do educational planning.
The colonists of the Europeans copied their masters’ form of education planning especially after attaining independence. This is true of African and Indian countries. Between 1951-1955, Indians national development had a section on planning devoted to education. Burma had a national development plan in 1952, Columbian in 1957, Tunisia in 1959, Nigeria in 1966, and Kenya in 1964. According to UNESCO 1948, education was seen as a basic human right that everybody is entitled to. This idea was reinforced by Addis Ababa conference of 1961. The African state in the conference promised to have a universal primary education by 1980. The UNESCO conference came up with various resolutions which formed the general framework of educational planning.
