We first explain model fundamentals and then propose the use of such a model to provide keen insights into potential futures regarding a state’s education system. Then, we provide a case study that delves into the Afghanistan education system providing insights into teacher training capacity issues as well as potential disparities across genders and provinces. A modification of the model to provide sensitivity analysis regarding policy, assumptions, and uncertainty is also presented, which demonstrates the power of linear programming as a decision tool within the realm of complex policy analysis.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe demand for qualified teachers is a first principal in the determination and following prescription of education policy through planning. Teacher management is a critical governance issue in fragile state contexts, and especially those in which the education system has been destroyed by years of conflict and instability (Kirk, 2008) . The importance of teacher planning to a society is only reemphasized by the United Nations Millennium Goal \\#2 – “ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling”(United Nations, 2010, p.1) . Teacher supply and demand manpower planning has been brought to the forefront given the continued and ever growing role of the international community in education development throughout the world. However, given natural challenges to teacher development such as an unqualified supply pool for teachers in many countries, competing national interests, security concerns such as in Afghanistan, societal implications, and disease concerns such as in Africa, it is of particular importance that education planners make the most of the planning and policy comparison tools available to them. Here we present a linear programming manpower model which was developed in accordance with many of the premises of education planning. We use this model to provide insight into potential future teacher demand and educational frictions in Afghanistan, but we assert this model structure is useful in numerous cases. Additionally, we explain the assumptions and potential weaknesses in the model as these matters are likely common. Included in this study is a brief overview of the mathematical modeling technique of linear programming to expose how such a model cannot only be insightful, but transparent, allowing the education planner and decision maker to understand the assumptions and limitations within the model.  \nEducational Planning 40 Vol. 21, No. 2  \nTEACHER SUPPLY AND DEMAND WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATION PLANNING Across the literature, one of the more referenced definitions for education planning is  \ngiven by Phillip Coombs 1,“[Education Planning is] the application of rational, systematic analysis to the process of educational development with the aim of making education more effective and efficient in response to the needs and goals of its students and societies”(Coombs, 1970, p.14). The purpose of manpower forecasting is to provide decision makers insight to ensure training and inventory focus on the areas needed (Cashbaugh et al., 2007) . Bringing these two designations together as Reichardt does, we see  \nThe main purpose of a teacher supply and demand study should be to improve the education of all learners, by helping policymakers create targeted policies that ensure all learners are taught by high quality qualified teachers, all of the time. Understanding the actual extent of the need for qualified teachers is the first step in ensuring that there is a qualified teacher in every classroom”(Reichardt, 2003, p.2) .  \nThe supply o","cbCaioFAtlUT3ALC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioFAtlUT3ALC","pdf",329222,18,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Teacher supply and demand within education planning\n# Educational planning definitions and purpose\n# Teacher manpower forecasting and resource allocation","[{\"question\":\"How does the paper extend the model for policy evaluation?\",\"answer\":\"It modifies the model to perform sensitivity analysis regarding policy choices, assumptions, and uncertainty, showing how linear programming supports complex policy analysis.\"}]","TIME PHASED MANPOWER MODEL FOR EDUCATION PLANNING IN AFGHANISTAN - read online free | PDF",1792095076,45]
