Philip H Coombs(
Book
)
31 editions published in 1972 in 3 languages and held by 269 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This document is the third in a series of three documents, which together contain 27 case studies on the uses of cost analysis in educational planning. The case studies have been presented to help planners and administrators see how cost analysis can be used to improve the efficiency of their educational systems, and to get the best value from their existing resources. Topics examined in these case studies include using cost analysis to improve the efficiency of school building in the United Kingdom, planning in university systems in Canada, the costs of secondary education in Morocco, improving efficiency in the utilization of teachers in technical education, comparative costs and efficiency in full-time and part-time education in the ussr, and programing annual current and capital expenditures during the planning period in Hungary. Three case studies dealing with Uganda consider an evaluation of educational costs, the behavior of nonteacher recurring expenditures, and the use of cost evaluation in the planning of a university college.

Future critical world issues in education : a provisional report of findings by
Philip H Coombs(
Book
)
9 editions published between 1981 and 1982 in English and Spanish and held by 71 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
A review is presented of findings emerging from the International Council for Educational Development assessment of the world educational crisis. The assessment was made of education in both developed and developing countries and was geared toward finding the future status of education in the 1980s and the 1990s. An analysis is made of basic trends that are shaping education's future. Fundamental to many problems facing educators is a rapid growth in human learning needs. A great increase in the number of learners in the developing nations produces pressure to expand enrollments, while developed nations, despite low population growth, are experiencing increases in learning needs, especially on the part of older youths and adults. Exacerbating the problem of providing for larger educational demands are the factors of tightened economies, increasing bureaucratization and politicalization of education systems, deteriorating employment markets, and a weakening of international cooperation in the field of education. These basic trends are seen as having far-reaching future implications for all levels and types of education throughout the world. Within this broad context, an examination is made of six critical issues facing higher education. These issues are identified as: (1) adjustment to changing demands in developed and developing countries; (2) fading employment prospects for graduates; (3) a growing financial squeeze in all nations; (4) educational inequalities for minority groups and the economically deprived; (5) problems in planning, management, and governance; and (6) barriers to international and intercultural cooperation and understanding.

La crisis mundial de la educación by
Philip H Coombs(
Book
)
11 editions published between 1971 and 1978 in Spanish and held by 46 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
El presente libro tiene dos objetivos primordiales. El primero consiste en reunir los hechos básicos de una visible crisis mundial en el terreno de la educación, explicitar las tendencias inherentes a estos hechos, y sugerir los elementos de una táctica a seguir ante ellos. El segundo objetivo está relacionado con el primero, pero va mucho más lejos. Pretende presentar un método para enfocar el sistema de educación, no como una serie de piezas sueltas donde cada faceta es un fragmento aislado, sino como un sistema en el que cada parte actuante emite sus propias "señales" para advertir si la acción conjunto se realiza de forma satisfactoria o no
