✨ Happy Teachers’ Day!

✨ Today we honor Dr. Aziz Sancar’s beloved teacher, Melahat Öğretmen, and all educators who shape generations. In Türkiye, Teachers’ Day is celebrated on November 24th, the day Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was given the title of Başöğretmen (“Head Teacher”) in 1928. Atatürk believed education was the key to progress—especially for women—and introduced the modern Turkish alphabet, inspired by Latin script and adapted to Turkish phonetics, opening new doors for literacy and knowledge. 📚👩‍🏫 A heartfelt salute to teachers everywhere, whose dedication lights the path of learning. #stccc #sancarturkishculturalandcommunitycenter #sancarturkishcenter #atatürk #TeachersDay #AzizSancar #MelahatÖğretmen #EducationMatters
