Those who were chosen by the purposeful inspection method. The results of the study showed that the implementation of educational initiatives depended on advance planning, identification of the beneficiary group and specific procedures for the initiative, and the availability of dissemination mechanisms for the initiative, and that there were points of support for educational initiatives that came from the personal qualities of the initiators, the family, the school administration and the Ministry of Education and its departments.
