I would like to state that we are a faculty driven by the belief that "If we want to improve the quality of education, we need to improve the quality of our teachers", aiming to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that may be necessary throughout your teaching profession.  In this regard, our main aim is to train teachers and scientists who have enhanced scientific and technological literacy, can keep pace with technological changes, maintain a balance between theory and practice, possess scientific and critical thinking skills, feel the excitement of the teaching profession in their souls and have a developed sense of self-confidence. We believe that the teacher of our time is a researcher, entrepreneur, scientifically and technologically literate.

We, as academics working within the faculty, operate with an educational philosophy aimed at instilling these qualities and thus equipping individuals with 21st-century skills. We sincerely want you, esteemed teacher candidates and practicing teachers, to believe wholeheartedly that the Faculty of Education is putting in significant efforts to ensure that you become teachers who can internalize new topics and concepts from programs, follow research in your field, and effectively apply them in practice. Furthermore, teaching is a lifelong process. We have full confidence that you will embrace the culture of lifelong learning and become teachers who are committed to continuous development throughout your careers.

I sincerely hope that you prioritize loving yourselves, our country, our nation, and our children who are the offspring of this nation and that you will raise them as individuals who are committed to our national and spiritual values, in line with the requirements of the age, and who look to the future with hope. As the administrative and academic staff of the Faculty of Education at Bursa Uludağ University, I urge you to believe that we are working to ensure your betterment. As leaders who believe that a student-friendly, participatory, and sharing approach will propel our faculty forward, we wish you peace and success.

With regards, Prof. Dr. Salih Çepni
