17. Using System Analysis in Educational Planning
1. It assumes that a system has a plan which is
systematically working towards the accomplisment of
specified and operationally defined achievements.
2. A system is adaptive, flexible, and will take the
options and constraints of its environment into
consideration while trying to reach its aims.

18. 3. It assumes that the system has a built in
mechanism of quality control, that evaluates the
adequacy of all components in the system and
provides feedback about the progress in the direction
of the aim.

the same time maximize the output.
