Educational planning owes its origin in the ancient civilization of the Nile, Athens, Sparta, Peru, of the Incas and chain during the Han dynasty. In these societies education was meant to suit the lives and aspiration of the people and achieve goals of the society. Indeed, there was a close relationship between education and the philosophy of the society.
In the city of Sparta, they had a particular constitution solely devoted to educational planning known as the Xenophon constitution. The second part of this constitution was devoted to education. The Spartan felt that education could serve a particular purpose in a society hence there was need to plan. The aim of education was to produce an ideal citizen, a soldier who was honest, loyal and courageous. Education training had a militaristic outlook and geared towards the production of citizens who would defend the state.
In China, during the Han Dynasty there was some formal education plan. Although it was crude, it had some goals to achieve. Plato, in his famous book, the republic, proposed a scheme which was suppose to make the school system accountable to the society. He called for the need to emphasize the school system to meet the societal needs.
In Peru under the rule-ship of the INCAS, the rulers saw a link between education and achievement of national development. During the renaissance period in Europe, particular attention was paid on educational planning as a means of achieving intellectual and societal change. Characters under this were;
John Knox: He is greatly remembered for coming up with an education system which catered for the material well-being of the Scotts.
Comenicus: He proposed a plan for school administration which would enhance national unity.
Diderot: He was commissioned by Empress Catherine II of France to produce a document which could consolidate the development of tertiary level of education.
