Which of the following is an approach to educational planning?

Both the manpower approach and the social demand approach are recognised approaches to educational planning.

The manpower approach (A) alone is only one, planning education to meet the economy's need for skilled labour.

The social demand approach (B) alone is another, planning to meet people's demand for education.

None of the above (D) is wrong, since both are established approaches.

Educational planning balances economic requirements with the public demand for schooling.

The cost-benefit or rate-of-return approach is a third recognised approach to educational planning.
