Introduction

International organizations, mainly the UNESCO and the OECD, subsequently took the lead role
both in constructing the education-economic growth ideology and promoting educational planning
in terms of creating new knowledge and capacity building in their member states. Consequently, a
number of UNESCO supported training institutes were established in different parts of the world,
including one at New Delhi for Asia, for capacity building in educational planning and management.
In 1963, the UNESCO founded the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) in Paris,
which become instrumental not only in generating new knowledge on educational planning through
research but also in building planning competencies through its capacity building programmes,
including its Annual Training Programme for key officials and personnel engaged in planning and
management of education, in developing member countries. Over the five decades of its existence,
the IIEP has not only enriched significantly the literature on educational planning but also developed
and disseminated new planning techniques.
