Erdoğan: We do not have a single young person to sacrifice to political merchants

Erdoğan's statements:

-Every nation progresses with its own essence and its own core; nations derive their determination and inspiration on the path of civilization, especially in education, from their own values.

-It is our primary responsibility not to allow those who want to distance this nation from its own values to succeed. With our Century of Turkey education model, we expect to raise young people who are equipped with these virtues and aim to carry this country to much more advanced points.

-We are continuing an educational approach that is specific to the talents of each student. We have achieved a silent revolution in education, just as we have in many other fields. We have brought standards up to European levels in many areas. We have strengthened the reforms we made in the curriculum with physical investments. By building over 360 thousand classrooms, we have increased our total number to 735 thousand.

-We implemented the Teaching Profession Law. By distributing nearly 4 million textbooks for free, we paved the way for equal opportunity in education; as the needs of the era evolve, we adapt ourselves accordingly. We are acting with a vision that will prepare our children for the world of tomorrow.

-We will continue the strong steps we have taken in education with you, our esteemed teachers, in the Century of Turkey with determination.

-If you cannot bring together virtue and technology, wisdom and artificial intelligence, you cannot open new paths. Education is not about importing ideas; it is about finding one's own voice, creating one's own work, and being able to correspond while remaining loyal to one's essence and values.

-It is of great importance that you evaluate the gems in your hands well and turn them into diamonds. You will raise hundreds of thousands of young people who will make significant contributions to humanity.

-We see that from time to time, our youth and our children can be subjected to criticisms they do not deserve at all. By looking at their shortcomings and mistakes with a magnifying glass, it becomes difficult to make fair assessments. I am very, very hopeful about the new generations.

-I see the TEKNOFEST generation, which follows the world, coming with a roar. As I see these young people, I have no doubt that the future of Turkey's youth will be much brighter. Our entire struggle is to create a Turkey where young people can realize their dreams.

We do not have a single young person to sacrifice to political merchants. We are aware of those whose eyes are clouded by ambition, rent-seeking, and money. We will not allow anyone to steal the dreams of our youth or cause them to lose hope.
