The first day of a new school year is always a social event. On the basis of the Constitution, our country is building a strong state in which more than 130 nationalities and over 40 confessions peacefully coexist. Thanks to the balanced, constructive policy of the President of the country, who is the guarantor of the Constitution, civil peace and interfaith harmony have been consolidated in society.

It is the young generation who will have to raise the bar of national competitiveness. Only patriotic, educated, professional, healthy physically and morally, socially and civically responsible youth can do such a mission.
