The first sign of a nation's progress is its level of cleanliness, and this trait cannot
come through legislation and government orders, but rather reflects the level of individuals
and groups themselves. As we firmly believe that our teaching bodies are at the forefront
of other groups that sense the reality of society and are driven before others to adopt the concepts
and requirements for our nation's progress. Therefore, we would like to remind them of their responsibility in this regard to achieve
raising the level of the school itself in terms of its appearance and cleanliness. As part of this process,
we wish to adopt what was stated in the Student Health Directorate's letter No. 11632 on 11/6/1967, transcribed
below, and work on its implementation. Hoping that you and the aforementioned directorate will notify us of your actions in
