Guidance Counselors Meet at Bahçeşehir

Bahçeşehir University hosted a group of 150 people consisting of branch managers and guidance counselors from Istanbul's leading preparatory schools. Speaking at the meeting, Chairman of the Board of Trustees Enver Yücel said, "We can bring the world to your doorstep."

The meeting opened with a speech on Bahçeşehir University's mission and vision by Vice President Prof. Dr. Hasan Şimşek. Şimşek's speech was followed by the training program presented to the guests by Prof. Dr. Turgay Biçer, "Coaching and Motivation in Education".
 

Taking the floor afterwards, Bahçeşehir University Chairman of the Board of Trustees Enver Yücel said that he had entered this sector as a guidance counselor and was therefore very happy to meet his colleagues. Stating that guidance counseling is a wonderful but equally difficult profession, Yücel said the handicap stems from confusing what is being done with what should be done, and said, "People try to do the wrong thing right. If the right thing is done well, that is what is right."
 

Yücel continued: "I attach great importance to 3 elements in education worldwide. The first is preschool education, and the others are mentorship and doctoral education, given its great public benefit. This trend will continue in education. A diploma is not enough. What matters is being able to do the job written on the diploma."

"ALL UNIVERSITIES ARE OURS"
 

Insisting on the importance of what should be done in guidance, Enver Yücel added that students should not be prepared only for Turkish universities and that Türkiye is a global country, and said, "Don't confine the children; we are a global country, all universities are ours."

Yücel concluded his remarks by saying, "The understanding of guidance abroad is very different. We have excellent students. But the goal should be well-guided and therefore happy students. We can bring the world to your doorstep. Whenever you need additional certificates, we as Bahçeşehir University will be by your side."
