REFLECTION PAPER #01

I. INTRODUCTION

To be able to sustain and provide quality education despite community quarantine,

the new normal should be taken into consideration in the planning and implementation of the
new normal educational policy. The educational planning and management team must have a
concrete plan in guiding the whole sector in facing this new normal. Educational planning and
management is vital to our educational system here in the Philippines since we are facing a
challenging situation where our curriculum is flexible or may be changed from time to time.
Educational planning generally is understood to be the identification, development,
and implementation of strategies designed to attain, efficiently and effectively, the educational
needs and goals of students and society.

II. OBJECTIVES
1. That after reading this reflection paper, the reader has broader and clearer understanding
of Educational Planning and Management.
2. To be able to distinguish good management and its consequences to the students within a
certain educational institution.
3. To promote good Educational Planning and Management through conducting assessment
and activities within the school campus.

III. REFLECTION PROPER

The fate of millions of students or learners depends upon a well organized and
established educational system. Such good educational system may be achieved through deep
knowledge of Educational Planning and Management. As stated in the video, when an
educational system is carefully planned, the fate or future of millions of children is protected.

Educational planning is the process of setting out in advance, strategies, policies,

procedures, programs and standards through which an educational objective (or set of
objectives) can be achieved. It is used in different institutions where different resources are
used effectively and systematically as possible. It is used by an administrator while
performing the role of a leader. Regardless of technology and development we have, still we
are required to have educational planning.

Characteristics of Educational planning includes primacy of planning, pervasiveness

of planning, mission – oriented and future These should be present in order that we consider
the planning a legitimate. It has also a process which must be followed these are statement of
educational objectives, identification of various activities needed to achieve the stated
educational objectives and evaluation of results. Understanding and following these steps are
very important in attaining good results.
 Educational planning comprises three main functions: identification of objectives and
strategies, proper distribution of scarce resources, educational planning aids decision making.
Identifying cause of the educational problems and suggesting relevant solution is the main
objective of educational planning. It requires developments and needs change in the future,
and must ahead of time so proper facilities, supporting media and required resources for
implementing the plan may be secured.
There are various dimensions to the general objectives of educational planning these
are political, legal, economic, social, cultural, demography, scientific and technological.
These dimensions are given greater consideration in conducting educational planning as well
as the components which includes educational status and the head count, supply and demand
of teachers, educational financing, school buildings, curriculum development, educational
materials, expansion models, relevance to political, economic, social and cultural policies and
objectives, integrated implementation, legal bases. By doing these we are contributing in
attaining the goals of a democratic society social and economic concerned with the welfare
and progress of all citizens.
Based on the different definitions as defined by different authors in the video such as
Dror and Knezevich, educational planning is the act of deciding in advance what is to be
done, how and what to do in order to achieve the goals of the system. Educational planning
becomes a necessity and planning competence becomes mandatory. It would bring a desirable
change in the educational organization for promoting the organizational health, the
effectiveness and functional efficiency.

IV. CONCLUSION
After watching the video being presented, I am convinced to conclude that
Educational Planning and Management is necessary in order to shape the lives of the learners.
We can build the future of millions of learners by implementing a good educational system in
our country. Good planning and management is the key to protect the future of our children
and to enhance their skills.
Regardless of the different definitions of educational planning and management as
presented by different authors, the ultimate goal of the topic is to understand what is
educational planning and management and how we can do it in order to help our children to
shape their future.
V. RECOMMENDATION
VI.
The author of this reflection paper strongly recommends to the readers that having
deep knowledge of educational planning and management leads one to become a good
teacher, leader or educator. One must pursue independent research on how to implement a
well-planned educational system. Through individual research, one may have clearer view of
what is a good educational planning and management and how one can do it.
