Congratulations on Knowledge Day

The Presidency of the Ukrainian Central Union of Consumer Societies and the Central Committee of the Trade Union of Consumer Cooperatives of Ukraine congratulate students, teachers, researchers and academic staff of cooperative educational institutions on Knowledge Day and the beginning of the 2024/2025 academic year!

This year is special for all of us, as we continue our studies in the face of full-scale Russian aggression. Despite all the difficulties, we demonstrate incredible resilience, courage and desire for knowledge.

Dear students, your efforts and dedication to learning are an example for the whole world. You show that even in the most difficult times, education remains a priority and knowledge is the most valuable treasure. Your achievements in education and social activities are proof that Ukrainian youth are the future of our country, capable of overcoming any challenges.

Despite the extremely difficult situation, young Ukrainians know that education is extremely important and that success in building their future will depend primarily on their own desire to learn and develop. We are confident that your abilities, activity and perseverance will be the key to the restoration and development of our country in a peaceful future.

Dear students, you have the opportunity to study and acquire knowledge at cooperative universities, institutes and colleges that will open up great prospects for you. We wish you to confidently pursue your goals, conquer new heights, meet good and reliable friends and obtain your dream specialty.

Special thanks to the teaching and research staff, who, despite all the difficulties, continue to pass on not only their knowledge and experience to students, but also educate a new generation that will build the future of our country. Your wisdom, patience and dedication to your work are priceless.

Thank you, dear educators, for your daily hard work, concern and desire to make cooperative education high-quality, interesting, creative and necessary for the younger generation.

Despite the dangers and obstacles, the educators did everything possible to ensure that the new school year began and the Knowledge Day holiday took place, given its importance and relevance for future generations.

We are grateful to the teams of cooperative educational institutions for the tremendous preparatory work that preceded the start of the new school year. First and foremost, it was aimed at creating safe and adaptive conditions for the educational process and ensuring energy sustainability.

May this academic year bring you new knowledge, interesting discoveries and unforgettable impressions!

We wish you good health, inspiration and success in all your endeavors, and inexhaustible creative energy. May peace and tranquility return to our land, and may education become the foundation on which we build a strong and prosperous Ukraine!
