Some of the findings of the study are as in the following: Alewi non-governmental institutions generally refer to the press, participate in workshops, prepare joint declarations and pay visits to homes in order to explain their views on educational problems and their expectations. 10 Alewi non-governmental organizations, which form the study group, say that religion courses delivered at state schools are mostly under the influence of Sunnî sect, defend the idea that the parts related to Alawism are insufficient, and state that they couldn't get a satisfactory reply from the political authorities despite their efforts. For the solution of the problems encountered, the related Alewi non-governmental organizations suggest that Alewi leaders called "dede" should visit the schools regularly and inform the students about Alawism.
