2. Introduction:
Educational planning serves as a vital tool in shaping the
future of education systems. It provides a clear direction for
how schools, teachers, and resources can be organized to
meet the learning needs of students and the development
goals of society. Through careful planning, education
becomes more inclusive, accessible, and responsive to
changes in population, technology, and labor demands.
