Mr. Khaem, District Educational Director expressed his opinion at the end of the event as follow; we are proud of all of the students participated in this exhibition, after 20 years of the military struggle now, is the time of gaining knowledge and reaching development. I thank TEO for encouraging the students and persuading them to take practical steps launching businesses, knowledge without practice and action is useless. I have a suggestion for the future programs that we need to have some of our students in the field of books sales as well to exhibit books and to popularize the reading culture by this as well. The self-sufficient students are our pride; the origin/base of the entrepreneurship is from the Abu -Bakar Sediq caliphate era when there wasn’t any jobless. Reaching to the economic self-reliance is very vital for us; wish all of you more success.
