Evaluating and Developing Programme Planning and Curriculum Designing for Higher Civil Service Training in Less Developed Countries, Political Science Department, University of Helsinki, 1984.

Focus: The main focus of the study was on the human resources management and public sector training in the South Asian countries. The study also focused on - how training could be made more effective and efficient on the level of programme planning and curriculum design.

Findings: The study results indicate that the training programmes for top management in the South Asian public sectors have their share of unsolved planning and design problems. The problem of overloading and lack of content integration are also present. The time allocation problem is less urgent and methods and strategies are neither prominent.

However, the study reveals that the external policy and administrative changes actually promise more than what is achieved on the level of programme planning and curriculum design. The results also indicate that the anchors of training tradition lay heavily in the minds of planners and curriculum designers and act as constraints of the modernisation of training programmes, and their curricula.
