Speaking at the Academic Awards Ceremony held at Hasan Kalyoncu University, İlim Yayma Foundation Board of Trustees Chairman Bilal Erdoğan stated that Turkey has reached a position where it competes with the world's most successful countries in the fields of education, health, infrastructure, and transportation.

İlim Yayma Foundation Board of Trustees Chairman Bilal Erdoğan came together with university students at the Academic Awards Ceremony held at the Hasan Kalyoncu University Congress and Culture Center. Arguing that trivial matters should be set aside and unity should be strengthened during the program, Erdoğan conveyed that Turkey has reached an assertive position globally in terms of primary and secondary education results.

Touching upon physical infrastructure works, Erdoğan stated that divided highways, airports, and high-speed train projects have strengthened trade and logistics. He also noted that the country is advancing towards becoming a major player with renewable and nuclear energy investments, while the number of students per classroom has dropped from 35 to the 20s. Drawing attention to human capital investments in health and education, Erdoğan emphasized that according to TIMSS and PISA data, Turkey has begun to take top spots in international educational evaluations.

At the ceremony, where HKU Board of Trustees Chairman Haluk Kalyoncu and Rector Prof. Dr. Gül Rengin Küçükerdoğan also delivered speeches, Governor Kemal Çeber and Metropolitan Mayor Fatma Şahin were present. Following the speeches, awards and plaques were presented to those who ranked in TEKNOFEST Southeast and various branches, as well as to academics whose titles were promoted.
