We will be happy to see our young people on our campus. We are already getting excited. We are looking forward to seeing them."

On the other hand, if there is a situation of necessity regarding vaccination and a decision is taken in this direction, we are obliged to comply with it. We have done all kinds of hygienic work in the dormitories. We plan to open our dormitories within the framework of the rules."

In this sense, the cooperation between local administrations, administrators of our schools in the district and our students solves our problems in many areas and lightens our burden. Various building repairs, renovations and the integration of students with the society and the harmonization of the social fabric can only be achieved through such cooperation.
