Rector Kaplancıklı: ‘Equal Opportunity is Our Common Responsibility’

In his statement on the meaning and importance of the day, our Rector Prof. Dr. Zafer Asım Kaplancıklı stated that it is a human duty to support the participation of individuals with special needs in social life and stated the following:

‘3 December World Special Needs Day is an important day that strengthens the understanding of social sensitivity and equality. The fact that every individual receives the respect they deserve and benefits from equal opportunities forms the basis of a strong society. As Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University, we continue to work to support individuals with special needs in every field from education to social life. It is our common responsibility to go beyond raising awareness and produce permanent solutions.’
