Lesson 5 : Principles of Programme Planning

Extension programme planning is a continuous process

Extension programme planning is a continuous process as it is an educational process and education is reviewed on a continuous bais, hence, it is never finished. Sutton (1961) said that extension in a changing society must adjust and plan for the future to serve the needs of people. He set forth five steps which might be useful in making necessary adjustments.

• Be close to the people
• Be flexible and ready to grasp new problems as these arise.
• Work with people in seeking practical solutions to their problems
• Keep acquainted with technological and social change
• Close the gap between research discovery and practical application
