Erbil, Kurdistan Region, May 15, 2023
On the 61st anniversary of the establishment of the Kurdistan Teachers Union, I extend my warmest congratulations to all teachers of Kurdistan. I wish them success.
On this occasion, we pay tribute to the significant contributions of teachers in Kurdistan and their relentless efforts to educate generations of students in the past and in our time.
Teachers are the leaders and main pillars of the education system. They have an unswerving impact on students and their future capacities, and therefore, they deserve recognition for their substantial role within the education process
On this occasion, we emphasize our support for all the rights and legitimate demands of teachers, as we remember the devoted teachers of Kurdistan who refused to abandon schools and their students despite severe shortcomings and hardships in the past, thus, not allowing the education process to be disrupted.
Tributes to the memories of the teachers who gave their lives for the freedom of their people and country.
Happy anniversary of the establishment of the Kurdistan Teachers Union.
Nechirvan Barzani
The President of the Kurdistan Region
