In his address, Prof. Dr. UZUN paid tribute to the teaching profession, extending his heartfelt congratulations to all educators, especially Head Teacher Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the nation’s martyr teachers.

The event continued with a heartwarming activity titled "Letters to the Teachers of the Future," where texts prepared by students from various provinces were read aloud. These letters, shared by prospective teachers, created vibrant and memorable moments for the audience.

Following this segment, the results of the reels competition, themed "A Day in the Life of a Teacher," were announced.
