Abstract

 

In the present work, we introduce a new model to evaluate an educational system, namely the applied-scientific system. This model provides us with a deep knowledge of different aspects of educational system including its organizational weakness and strength. Within our approach, making use of the production function and the calculated education area function, it is also possible to recognize different strategic aspects of an educational system and consequently improve it. This model, for the first time, provides the numerical values of both substantial and total factors of the educational system and, in a systematic manner, mathematically simulates the educated production function, the education area function, etc. Our proposed model could be extended to study an industrial system as well.

 

Key words: Mathematical model, educational system, strategic planning, internal and external environments.
