**3. Conclusion**

The findings of the research indicated that directors and assistant directors were well aware of risk management. It was noted that schools were able to adapt policies, but inefficient in applying policies and strategies to form school culture. It is argued that adapting school culture, quality, and risk management can be strengthened by developing more policies and strategies.

As long as risks, natural, human or technology oriented, are kept at minimum levels, the community will have good members aware of what they do for themselves and for the community. Individuals growing up with awareness can make their own career plans, which will be an advantage for their family structure in future. Such individuals will, doubtless, teach their children to keep away from risks. Above all, in an education system with minimized risks, the main aim should be to raise qualified and conscious individuals to add new values to the community to achieve its aims. At a minimized risk level, students will feel safer in their steps for their future. In case of any obstacles in their steps, they may receive a mentor's support with proper planning and management and move forward self-confidently. The need for such a support was advocated in a study by Öznacar and Mümtazoğlu [11]. Finally, sound plans, strategies, and management are essential in minimizing risks, and the only way to eradicate risks is to act together as a community.
