This part of the Report deals with problems and programmes of implementation and covers two chapters-XVIII and XIX.

Chapter XVIII covers educational planning and administration. Among others, it deals with such problems as educational planning, the roles of private enterprise, local authorities and the Government of India, educational administration at the national and State levels, personnel of the Ministry of Education and the State Education Depart- ments and procedures.

Chapter XIX examines issues relating to the financing of education. Among others, it deals with the growth of total educational expenditure in India during the post-Independence period and the resources likely to be available for educational development during the next twenty years. It also describes the allocation of available resources to different sectors of education as it was in the first three plans and as it is likely to be in the next two decades. It discusses the different sources of educational finance and broadly indicates the cost per student at each stage of education as it was during the last fifteen years and as it is likely to be during the next twenty years.
