The aim of this study is to find out the levels of awareness, attitudes,readiness and expectations in school administrators who play a key role in the implementation of theFATIH Project. The findings from 74 school administrators from five different districts in Istanbul haverevealed that: (1) these schools are more prepared and equipped than the average in terms of theinfrastructure the project requires and will provide; (2) yet there is a shortage of information technology(IT) teachers or specialists; (3) school administrators frequently employ IT for school management andtheir own professional development; (4) but they have a low degree of positive attitude towards IT; (5)they do not have sufficient knowledge about the project; (6) they have obtained most of the knowledge theydo have through the media; (7) the biggest obstacle to the success of the project is the insufficientknowledge and experience of administrators, teachers, students and parents, (8) school administrators havepositive, yet not high, expectations of the Project's effect on educational culture, assessment and evaluation,administration, communication and basic skills, (9) despite their mostly negative expectations of overallcounseling, dropouts, discipline and student behavior.
