Answer the questions based on the following passage-
Educational planning should I aim at the educational needs of the entire population of all age groups while the traditional structure of education as a three layer hierarchy from the primary stage to the university represents the core. We should not overlook the periphery which is equally important.

A viable education system of the future should consist of models with different kinds of functions serving a diversity of constituents.

The possibility of the idea becoming an integral part of educational thinking seems to be a for cry. For to more in the direction means much more than some simple rerangement of the present organization of education. But a good beginning can be made by the developing Open Universities programms for older Leaners of different categories and introducing extensive services in the conventional colleges and schools. Also these Institutions should learn to co-operate with the numerous community organization such as libraries, museums Municipal recreational programms, health Services.
