In addition, information was obtained from the primary sources. In the first years of the organizations, said to be having the dominant ethnocentric policies. To do this, adequate technical and managerial knowledge of managers and teachers from Turkey had to be chosen. In the following years, Bishkek, Osh and Issyk-Kol schools administrators will be preferred in Kyrgyzstan. For this reason, polycentric policies began to be implemented. International SEBAT Educational Schools (ISES) periodically organizes seminars and meetings and teaching the Kyrgyz, English and Russian for the Turkish teachers and administrators. Successful teachers and students are rewarded with gifts and appreciation. If they are under the overall achievement levels, their lack of performance is being resolved by the consultations of the managers.
