Study Notes
Social Demand Approach
- The social demand approach is a traditional method used to determine educational needs, but it has limitations and requires improvement.
- This approach considers the current demand for education at different levels and projects it based on population increase, age distribution, and national or social goals.
- The goals and preferences considered include universal literacy, universal compulsory primary education, and cultural objectives.
- The approach emphasizes education as a social infrastructure for development purposes and as an end in itself.
- The financial implications of these targets are then assessed, often resulting in a requirement for funds that exceeds what is available.
- A compromise is typically made, and a feasible plan is developed based on the expected available funds.
- This approach may work satisfactorily in high-income countries, but there is growing concern over slow growth rates and increasing competition in export markets.
- As a result, there is an increased emphasis on the role of education in contributing to technological progress and productive efficiency.
