Students from all around the world came together, passing our crescent and star flag from hand to hand, from heart to heart, and united in one message 🇹🇷 ❝Happy April 23 National Sovereignty and Children’s Day!❞ Different languages, different cultures… but the same excitement, the same smile 😌 April 23 is not just a holiday; it is a shared joy entrusted to all the children of the world. And now… once again, together: Happy April 23 National Sovereignty and Children’s Day! 😍

The esteemed Board Member of the Turkish Maarif Foundation, Mr. Ali Çiçek, addressed our Bucharest Maarif MUN Closing Ceremony with a meaningful video message from the Antalya Diplomacy Forum.

Hosted for the first time by Romania International Maarif Schools, the Maarif Model United Nations (Maarif MUN) program brought together 109 young talents for a dynamic and diplomacy driven experience. 🌍 Our middle and high school students assumed the roles of delegates representing different countries within a United Nations simulation, working to address current global challenges. Engaging with diplomatic representatives from countries such as Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Palestine, our students had the opportunity to combine their theoretical knowledge with real world insights. More than just a discussion platform, this program served as a journey of personal and academic growth. From English public speaking and critical thinking to leadership and consensus building, our students were able to unlock and demonstrate their full potential. We congratulate all our students and extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to this inspiring journey.

We’re proud to announce that Maarif School USA has earned accreditation from @CogniaOrg with the highest status of Accredited with Distinction! We’ve been recognized for our steadfast commitment to providing a high-quality education for every one of our students and our promise to continue improving for them. @TMaarifVakfi @TMaarifENG

Differences are not deficiencies; they are a source of richness. 🩵🩶 As Turkish Maarif Foundation, we believe that education is a fundamental right for every individual, and we support “living together with differences” in our schools across the world. 🌍 As always, on World Autism Awareness Day, we are aware of our responsibility to support the social inclusion of individuals with autism and to ensure their access to quality education. With love, patience, and the right education, there are no barriers that cannot be overcome.

In Türkiye, the joy of Eid begins with the respectful kissing of the hands of elders 👴🏻🤲 In Tanzania, hearts are truly joined when hands are clasped together in a warm handshake 🤝🩵 In Afghanistan and Pakistan, friendships are sealed with a full-bodied, heartfelt embrace 🤗🌙 In Bosnia and Herzegovina, love is shared with the elegance of a cup of coffee and a piece of lokum ☕🍬 May the love, peace, and brotherhood that unite these colorful traditions fill your homes… Though cultures differ, let hearts be one. Eid Mubarak! 🌙

#HappyInternationalWomensDay to our women, symbol of labor, sacrifice, compassion, and kindness. 💐

A line from Prof. Dr. @MNaciinci at the 5th Istanbul Education Summit that continues to inspire. ❝We asked how education could create genuine equality. But as we look at the world toward the end of 2025, we must confront a painful truth: before we can build a just society, we must first heal one that is deeply wounded.❞

A quote from @mgulluoglu at the 5th Istanbul Education Summit that still resonates: ❝Studies show that education increases optimism and social well-being, strengthening societies’ confidence in themselves and in one another. However, the real question is this: What kind of education? Knowledge devoid of moral values is dangerous, and technology lacking conscience becomes a destructive force. The atomic bomb is the most striking example of this. Therefore, the education we need is one that preserves moral values and is guided by conscience.❞

Healing the world is a bold claim. Education became the meeting point for those who take it seriously. #Healing #IstanbulEducationSummit

Jenny Molendyk Divleli: ❝Ideas that are not blended with courage and resilience cannot be transformed into action. We are all here to take action.❞ #IstanbulEducationSummit #Healing

Elif Leyal Uğraş: ❝I’ve learned that we don’t need to be shielded from every stress in life. Instead, we need to face it, build resilience, adapt, and grow. The pressure we feel today isn’t breaking us, it’s actually making us stronger.❞ #IstanbulEducationSummit #Healing

Mehmet Hasan Yacı: ❝Faith is believing that change is possible, but faith also requires education because education connects young people to a history, to a community, and to a purpose greater than themselves. In other words, education connects us to our roots.❞ #IstanbulEducationSummit #Healing
