We have been struggling to form a society which adopts science as a guide, which appreciates learning and which works hard and derives pleasure from the tiredness of its efforts. Our primary principle is “to catch up with the objective of the contemporary civilization” set by great leader Atatürk because we know that to create future grand Turkey is only possible if we enforce our great ancestor’s principles and reforms as our guide.
 

Therefore, it is necessary for our youth, who are safeguards of our future, to be educated with contemporary methods and to be qualified with up-to-date information.
 

Another goal of us, which is also of equal importance as to education, is to create desire to investigate, is to teach methods of self-improvement all your life and methods of access to information and is to develop ability to be entrepreneur, to make decision correctly and to solve problems instead of only acquainting you with certain information. It will be our greatest proud to see that we have educated Turkish youth who are dynamic, entrepreneur, who can synthesize and who have high scientific qualifications, and it will be our greatest proud to see our country’s power and efficiency in the future.

I greet you with all those feelings and thoughts. With my best regards.
