Dear Colleagues, On the 176th anniversary of the establishment of the Teachers' Schools on 16 March 1848, which marks the acceptance of teaching as a specialized profession, the Faculties of Education continue to honorably raise the flag and raise the country with the graduates of the Faculties of Education with the light it spreads in Anatolia as a servant of the homeland and the success it has achieved. We are all proud of the success news we receive from our graduates.

I bow with respect in front of our deep-rooted history in teacher training, and on behalf of my country, I would like to thank you, my esteemed colleagues, for your efforts in raising our teachers who are the architects of our future. 

On this occasion, I commemorate with mercy and gratitude our teachers who were martyred in the line of duty, including Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, our Chief Teacher, and all education professionals who have passed away. 

Sincerely yours,

Prof.Dr. Salih Zeki GENÇ
Dean
