To achieve this, the researcher chose an experimental design with partial control. She also intentionally chose Sayyidat Al-Nisaa Secondary School in the district of Tuwairij / Karbala to conduct the experiment. The research sample consisted of (70) female students, with (35) students for the experimental group and (35) students for the control group. The researcher studied the experimental group with the educational program and the control group studied in the usual way.
