Using the semi-structured conversation form created by researchers in order to collect data in the study, face-to-face conversations were conducted with representatives of civil society organizations and the aim was to evaluate in detail their impact on educational policies in accordance with their own opinions. In the analysis of the data collected as a result of the discussions, the content analysis technique was used. The results from the study can be summarized as follows: NGOs generally believe they have limited or occasionally influenced their education policies. While NGOs adopt a approach based on personal and corporate relationships in their relationships with decision makers in the field of education, they emphasize the approach based on personal relationships in general, such as conversations, visits, expressing their opinions, establishing good relationships, defending their own truths. They expect public managers to be open to communication, participating and sharing, to be democratic, to be courageous and to develop data-based policies. Finally, they express their influence in their relationships with decision makers in the field of education in general and they have been effective in making some decisions in the past.
