The chosen sample groups were chosen without probability from policy implementers to practice in 58 schools by quota sampling in which 240 people were selected from 30 schools. The people who filled out the whole questionnaire were 0.982. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard deviation statistics.

Overall, the strategic plan can be implemented at a high level ( =3.14, SD=0.45) and policy conversion into practice is at a high level (
