University Planning for National Development and Modernization

Abstract

Given the new social role of the university as expounded by many contemporary writers, our task here is to consider the variety of functions and programs which can be delimited from that role. One can immediately indicate the broad range of major functions within which innovations many occur, they are: 1. Teaching ‥‥‥ Teaching in more traditional sense 2. Training ‥‥‥ Training of professionals and specialists 3. Research 4. Service The important thing now is that these functions must be designed and carried out in such a manner that significant innovations can occur. Programmatic innovations can take at least two forms: 1) by revamping or restructuring existing programs, and 2) by creating new programs.
