4.1. ASSUMPTIONS
The underlying assumptions of the technical assistance are the following:
1. Clients often do not know what is wrong and need special help in the
diagnosing what their problems actually are. They need also to know the kind of
help they want to seek.
2. Most clients have a constructive intent to improve things, but they need help
in identifying what to improve and how to
improve it.
3. Most organizations can be more effective than they are if they learn to
diagnose and manage their own strengths and weaknesses. No organization is
perfect; hence, every form of organization will have some weaknesses for which
compensatory mechanisms must be found.
4. Unless the client learns to see the problem and think through the remedy,
he/she will not be willing or able to implement the solution. Much more, he will
not learn how to fix such problems should they recur. The technical assistance
provider in this regard can provide alternatives; but decisions-making on such
alternatives must remain in the hands of the client.
The delivery technical assistance therefore can take varied forms. It could be in
any of the following:
1. Information Sharing –Within this area are policies, guidelines, directions, and
instructions of top DepEd management. They are usually delivered via
office memorandum or orders, conferences and giving of referrals.
