Dear colleagues! Dear teachers, students!

Today is the Knowledge Day and new academic year begins. From the Ministry of Education and from me, please take the sincerest congratulations with the beginning of the academic year.

It is common to sum up the results and set new tasks upon greeting the new academic year. The results of the centralized exam and admission campaign show that our education meets quality standards and is accessible one. No matter where the child study, be it rural school or metropolitan gymnasium – he receives valuable knowledge and good education. We can be proud of our teachers and students.

Dear teachers! The life itself has put the most important task on you – to teach a person and grow a person, a citizen and a patriot. No single occupation in the world is more important. It is very difficult to introduce a child to the world of knowledge and awaken respect to motherland in them and at the same time, it is very easy. It is easy for teachers who truly love kids and share their experience and knowledge.

Good education – is the key to successful journey into life and self-realization. Today thousands of graduates became college and university students. Not only you have passed through the first serious challenge, but chose a profession to which you will dedicate your life. Thanks to high professionalism of our teachers, masters, academic staff, students and pupils will receive modern skills and knowledge and I am sure they will become skilled specialists.

Dear colleagues, thank you for your skill to combine commitment to high ideals, commitment to best traditions of national pedagogy, for your readiness to keep up with the times and guide your students!

We want to wish first grade students to go across the world of knowledge with perseverance and success. Wish graduates to finish school with a solid knowledge background and choose your future career. As for parents – patience and wisdom to all of you!

We wish you all good health, peaceful skies, endless energy, interesting live full of bright events as well as happy and joyful experiences. Let the new school year be successful and creative!

Good luck!
