Speaking at the ceremony, Chairman Bahadır Çolak said:

“In line with the importance our Women Entrepreneurs Council places on literacy education, we introduced a transportation-supported education model for women who were unable to attend courses due to transportation difficulties. We implemented this project in close cooperation with our neighborhood headwomen. Every day, we better understand the importance of education in our country, and we will continue our efforts in this field. We are planning to launch new courses in September. I would like to thank the Public Education Center, the District Directorate of National Education, and the neighborhood headwomen of Levent, Hacıyusuf, and Paşabayır for their valuable support. I also sincerely congratulate all our participants who attended the course with great determination and successfully completed the program.”

The ceremony concluded with the presentation of certificates to the course participants.
