            ABSTRACT
                                   Planning is a comPlex activity that varies a great
            deal from country to country depending on such variables as the
            administrative structure of the, country. The complexity of the task
            is increased because the five planning activities-- issuing directives
            for planning, preparing plans, approving plans, implementing plans,
            and evaluating and revising*Plansoverlap each other. Educational
            planning poses specific administrative problems.in three
            areas -- determining the location of a planning agency in a
            governmental structure, sorting out the relationship between politics
           and administration, and resolving the issue of involving public
            opinion in planning. (Author/IRT)
