We are grateful to our teachers who, with devotion, patience and sacrifice, raise our children, who are the guarantors of our future; teach them the good, the truth and the values of the Republic, and the love of the country and the nation.

Head Teacher Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk once stated: "The biggest enemy of society is ignorance and the enemies of ignorance are teachers. The teacher is the teacher of the past, the founder of the future. The future belongs to the youth. Young people are also a work of teachers", thus highlighting the importance of the profession o teaching.

On this occasion, I wish a happy November 24 Teachers' Day to all of our teachers, especially to the Head Teacher Atatürk.
