Some teachers thought that the moral priests used to be their students so they didn’t give the real acknowledgement to the priests. The school administrators, the teachers and the students didn’t have cooperation together and they also lacked of cooperation with the moral priests.  Moreover, the moral priests didn’t have enough teaching aids and lacked of teaching materials. School teachers and moral priests didn’t exchange the teaching techniques and the way to produce aids. The other problem was the lack of teaching management, studying timetable and evaluation.
