However, educational innovation in general, as well as the organization of teaching Natural Sciences, History and Geography, Experiential Activities, and Career Guidance, takes place nationwide, in a very large number of schools. This is new and difficult content; the conditions of regions and localities are different in terms of facilities, teaching staff, teaching organization, etc., so it is inevitable that there will be problems, difficulties, and confusion.
