We can build our country only with quality education; we can raise our generations as healthy, productive and happy individuals ready for life. Preschool education constitutes the most important years of human life. Results of the research conducted many times show us that the development of the individual's brain is very fast, and we see that the development is completed at this stage. Therefore, in order to secure our tomorrows, we will build the future of our country with the education we will provide to our children in the pre-school service building opened for service within our University. With these thoughts, I would like to thank Çetinceviz family on behalf of our institution for providing Düriye Çetinceviz Kindergarten to our University, which will serve humanity for many years.”
Ordu Governor Seddar Yavuz stated, “Education is the most important field that determines the standard of living of both individuals and nations in the world. The way to step forward in international competition is through education. Preschool education is a period in which habits, basic human values and an identity are formed. Therefore, the investment we will make in our children in this period is important. I would like to thank Çetinceviz family of Ordu, who has been successful in national and international activities for supporting education.”
