Karatay Municipality, which contributes significantly to the education of future generations with many projects in addition to its physical investments in education, has provided a total of nearly 500 thousand books and magazines to schools and students in four and a half years. Karatay Mayor Hasan Kılca said that “We give great importance to this service, which is a resource for children and young people.
Karatay Municipality is making a name for itself with the new schools, libraries, sports facilities and astroturf pitches it has brought to the district, as well as the environmental arrangements of the schools, and other investments in education. In this context, Karatay Municipality sent nearly 500 thousand books and magazines to all schools and students in the district within a period of 4.5 years.
RESOURCE SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS FROM KARATAY MUNICIPALITY
Mayor Kılca stated that “We provide support for high quality education and training in Karatay. Since 2019, we have provided nearly 500 thousand books and magazines to our schools and children of educational age.”
Mayor Hasan Kılca said that “The power of a nation is measured not by its population, but by its trained human power. With this logic, it brings great joy to put into service one by one the education facility constructions that we have started in every corner of Karatay for four and a half years. We contribute not only to the physical needs of our schools, but also to the book needs and diversity of our students. We broke new ground in Turkey and established TÜBİTAK Popular Science Publications Library in all schools in our district. We placed tens of thousands of TÜBİTAK publications in our libraries. Again, as the Municipality, we deliver ‘TÜBİTAK Curious Little’, ‘TÜBİTAK Bilim Çocuk’ and ‘TÜBİTAK Bilim ve Teknik’ magazine free of charge to more than 15 thousand children. Magazines offer our students the opportunity to learn not only by reading, but also by watching and applying, thanks to their enriched scientific content and interactive corners. We have delivered our TÜBİTAK magazines to a total of 340 thousand students since the first day of our project. We will continue to meet our students during this education period. We attach great importance to the project, which is an important resource for children and young people of educational age.”
THOUSANDS OF BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS
Hasan Kılca said that “We ae happy to serve the generations that develop and grow up through reading. We also provided thousands of book support to schools. Our source book support is not limited to TÜBİTAK journals. We also provided thousands of book support to our schools. This service, which is a great opportunity for our students at all levels, also contributes to the academic quality of the district. Our support with our TÜBİTAK magazines and the books we distribute to our schools is close to 500 thousand. Again, as a municipality, we have added many schools and educational facilities to Karatay in the past 4.5 years. The total current investment cost of the 12 schools and educational facilities we built in our district reached 971 million Turkish lira. Together with our other supports for education, this figure exceeds 1 billion liras. We are increasing the number of classrooms we have added to Karatay to 129. Every classroom opened and every contribution made to the education system will bring Turkey one step closer to its dreams and goals. I am proud to tell you about all these services because building schools and supporting education is the job of those who are concerned about the future. We will continue to provide beneficial services to our district and our people by producing beautiful projects for our students, as we have done so far.”
