First of all, on behalf of myself and the council of Erbil Polytechnic University, I would like to congratulate each of you. One of my goals was to provide as many opportunities as possible for our university employees. Because we felt that our university needs more teachers with master’s and doctoral degrees, thank God we were able to provide this opportunity. So, today I am very happy to see a large number of our employees and teachers, more than 200 employees and teachers Obtaining higher qualifications.
We hope to reach 1,000 teachers in the next two to three years. For your information, we have about 700 teachers so far and we are trying to increase that number in the next two years We have about 16,000 students, which is a huge number and is increasing every year. We are in need of more lecturers, that is why we were pleased to meet with you to express our happiness and congratulations. We wish you success in your studies.
We hope you will start studying very seriously and very talentedly. We will help and support you as a university, but you must also support yourselves. Come back to work with a degree that makes us be proud of you again. It is very important that you do not just want to get a degree and put it in your pocket, but you should put your great efforts to get more information to be a better teacher, so that you can serve the university in particular and Kurdistan in general.
