Dear colleagues, respected professors, and dear teachers and mentors!

I extend my heartfelt and sincere congratulations to you on October 1 — Teachers and Mentors Day!

Teaching is an honorable and responsible profession that shapes human destiny and serves to build the future through knowledge and enlightenment. Your dedicated work in education and upbringing, your scientific and creative research, your pedagogical skills, and your worthy contribution to the development of the young generation deserve special recognition.

Today, your role is invaluable in enhancing the knowledge and potential of the youth studying at our institute, and in raising them to be independent thinkers, skilled professionals with modern expertise, and individuals devoted to our national art and culture. Behind the creative flight, professional success, and worthy place in life of every student lies the knowledge, experience, attention, and noble effort of the teacher.

I am confident that your rich experience, high sense of responsibility, and pursuit of innovation will continue to enhance the scientific, educational, and creative potential of our institute, helping our youth reach great heights.

Dear teachers! Congratulations once again on this auspicious holiday. I wish you all robust health, family peace, happiness, and new achievements in your activities. May the success, recognition, and growth of your students — the greatest fruit of your labor — always bring you pride and joy!

Happy holiday, dear teachers and mentors!

Sincerely, Omonulla Salikhov, Rector of Kamoliddin Behzod National Institute of Fine Arts and Design!
