Dear schoolchildren, students and teachers,
It is all thanks to knowledge that achieving success, changing
the course of life and even history, and becoming a valuable person for the State
becomes possible.
An uneducated person who graduates from an educational
institution through self-deception only cripples the state, and becomes
worthless to their environment and community.
Now, more than ever, our homeland needs educated people with
real knowledge; and this is our core obligation to our state.
To become powerful and strong, the state itself must create
equal opportunities for all, so that no child is left out of education because
of their social status or disability, so that inclusion and respect for the
dignity of every human being remain at the core of all our initiatives.
Knowledge is also the key to getting rid of stereotypes. It is the
selfless efforts of educators which should be valued with great respect, that
help to provide good-quality education for multiple generations.
Congratulations on Knowledge and Schooling Day.
I wish you all continued success on the occasion of the start of
the new academic year.
Mr. Arman Tatoyan
