"UNIVERSITIES' MISSION IS TO BE ON THE FIELD, TO BRING ALL ELEMENTS OF EDUCATION TOGETHER AND SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS”
Making the opening speech of the program, Prof. Dr. Bahri Şahin, Rector of Istanbul Gelisim University, thanked the participants. By making a statement to the press after the opening speech, Prof. Dr. Bahri Şahin referred to the importance of their programs throughout Turkey and indicated the following: “We brought together all the stakeholders of education here. In other words, our Provincial Director of National Education, our Counseling and Research Center Director, branch managers, advisory teachers are here. We came from Istanbul as a university. This is not our first program. Similar programs were held in all provinces of Turkey. We believe that the duty of universities is to be on the field, to bring together all the elements of education and to bring solutions to problems. Our biggest problem is the quality of the educator. Universities have a great responsibility to increase this quality of educators. Therefore, all universities should be in the field on this issue. We, as Istanbul Gelisim University, have taken this as our duty, and we desire to bring together these educators and academicians at the university in every province of our country to ensure mutual interactive knowledge sharing.”
''PROGRAMS ON OTHER SUBJECTS MAY CONTINUE IN THE FUTURE''
Rector Şahin also added, “Today's program is in Şanlıurfa. "Speed Reading Techniques Training" will be given to approximately 200 advisory teachers in Şanlıurfa within 2 days. In our next programs, there may also be subjects related to educational psychology or problems of secondary education. We want to bring together our expert lecturers at the university with our teachers on this subject. I saw great excitement and joy in teachers and that makes us very happy”.

In the program, which was quite entertaining, the advisory teachers tested themselves by getting information about speed reading techniques in line with Ferhat Şahin's instructions.
