And the supporting factors are adequate facilities and infrastructure, the role of administrators, and the awareness of the students who have formed, while the inhibiting factors are the use of the hall for other activities and the feeling of laziness that exists within the students. And the efforts made to overcome the obstacles that occur are by fulfilling facilities and infrastructure, minimizing the use of halls, cooperation between administrators and imposing sanctions.
