Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of manpower development to be integrated with long-term development plans. It has to deal, on the one hand, with the restructuring of educational planning to make it oriented towards functional education, and, on the other hand, it has to make the growth of the economy depend upon the creation of manpower skills. The methodology adopted is such that the question is looked at from the point of view of an economy in growth rather than from the point of view of the field of education. The traditional texts in educational development adopt the latter approach, and as such they fail to evaluate the true position of functional education and its economic justification for the purposes of economic development in a just society passing through a phase of rapid growth.
