" THE REMEDY FOR ECONOMIC CRISIS AND PEACE CULTURE OF POVERTY IS EDUCATION"
Yücel indicates, The world is in pain with uncounted happenings like migration, pandemics, terrorism, environmental pollution, political and economic crises and the fact that the world is going towards the fragmented and mainly divided experienced in ethical framework.
He said that these experienced happenings takes people away from each other, makes insensitive and foreign to each other, and he indicates that it makes even enemy, "the real cure for all this happened, all countries, all of us; problems that are facing our common denominator solution is education.
We started to look solution at education, into poverty by the economic crisis culture of peace to the very common problem of the world,. Today any problems, how is the whole issue of the common problems of all humanity basic solution is education.”
He indicates, when you are agree on the solution, but the motion pass too late and he said, " We want production-based education which is carrying the the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurial.
In this way, economies renew themselves, we want to get abundant production. They are performing to reduce costs, to avoid problems; to prevent illness without disease measures should be produced.
Not only the production but also the direction, the reason and the amount of consumption, should also be questioned.
Today our greatest expectations from education is ensure people for be armed with culture of living together. Because today problems are linked at this point.”
"ON CLASS-BOOKS SHOULD NOT THE HOSTILITY TAKE PLACE BUT FRIENDSHIP"

Our children; should read friendship not the hostility, but their country can boast of course with the heroes in the books; common life in their education, they should developed a strong confidence for the future.
With their beliefs and their freedom they will spice up the world and life; they learn to share in the relationship with all civilized humanity."

How can we disappear tomorrow the hate that this happening left? What is the gain of the persons that have given the order causing this happenings?
Are the people that create this aggression as that belong to a civilization, aware what they leave for future? People are brothers, no one has the right to throw hostility seeds between them. Therefore, in Jerusalem who scare people with weapons in the mosque, can not be a representative of a civilization. Such attitude of responsible and guilty are neither people nor civilizations. Leaders that representing the nation, should act that they are responsible against as their communities as well as humanity and history.”
"VICTORY EDUCATION WİLL SAVE THE HUMANITY NOT THE WAR”

Every country that has grappled with education problems, will surely understand that he can’t get rid with weapon and will leave this way.All human; will learn and succeed to meet on humanity’s common values, and to respect each other.Our expectation is not much more: Our children grow in health, well-educated and live in peace.”
