Making a speech at the event, Erdoğan congratulated students, teachers and parents on the occasion of the end of the 2021-2022 school year.

Erdoğan said: “We are in a multifaceted struggle to raise the quality of education, make education more widespread and achieve equality of opportunity in education. We have always allocated to education the lion’s share in all the budgets prepared by our governments. We have inaugurated in our 81 provinces a large number of educational institutions from kindergartens to primary schools, from secondary schools to high schools and universities.”

Stressing that Türkiye had always put education first over the past 20 years, Erdoğan said: “That is why we see education as the beginning of every work. That is why we mobilize all our resources for education. We consider every penny spent for education as the biggest investment made for Türkiye’s future. We want every kid of ours, boys and girls alike, to receive education and the child of every citizen, rich and poor alike, to pursue the highest quality education. Accordingly, we are in a multifaceted struggle to raise the quality of education, make education more widespread and achieve equality of opportunity in education. We have always allocated to education the lion’s share in all the budgets prepared by our governments. We have inaugurated in our 81 provinces a large number of educational institutions from kindergartens to primary schools, from secondary schools to high schools and universities.” (ILKHA)
