TOBB and TOBB University of Economics and Technology (TOBB ETU) Board of Trustees President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu in his November 24th Teachers' Day message stated that an investment in education and the value put on teachers will never incur loss.
Hisarcıklıoğlu
said, “The young generations to be trained by well-educated, well-equipped
teachers will have the strength to carry society forward in the civilization
race.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu
stated the following in his message:
“Our
teachers are the ones who shape and give direction to society. They have the
biggest share in the success of our children in society as qualified
individuals. Investments in education and educators never incur losses. For
centuries our society has been acting with in mind and therefore the teaching
profession is held in the highest regard. Being a nation having internalized
the saying, ‘I would be a 40-year servant to any who would teach me but a single
letter,’ it is only natural to enthrone education and teachers.
As
the representative of the Turkish business world, we have always had this mindset.
Based on this vision, we established TOBB University of Economics and
Technology and helped to establish primary and secondary schools in every
corner of our country.
We
know well that the value societies give to education and educators is an
indication of the level of a civilization.
With
these emotions and thoughts, I celebrate this meaningful day for all our
teachers and our education community.”
