In 2020, the world began to grapple with the pandemic. India: “SQC FIDUCIA”, consisting of 11th-grade students from City Montessori School, Kan
pur Road campus, was entitled to receive the “International Champion Seagull Project” Award with its project “Reducing the fear of Public speaking”. Project Leader Dr. Vineeta Kamran was deemed appropriate to be awarded the “Best Seagull Leader of the Pandemic Period” and Dr. Jagdish Gandhi, the founder of the school, Founding President of WCTQEE, and esteemed educator, was deemed appropriate to be awarded the “Global Seagull Leader Award in the Days of the Pandemic” for continuing to effectively bring the world’s largest school together with education during the pandemic.
This year, for the second time after last year’s BAU-EBE students, graduate students took part in our Leading Seagulls Project. My TRNC, CIU, and Educational Administration master’s students carried out eight projects with distance education during the pandemic period. The three most successful works participated in our Leader Seagull Project and were entitled to receive the following Special Jury awards:
Yaşar Kızıltan’s ‘SQC Red’, “Problems Faced by CIU Students in Pandemic Days and Solutions Project” Prof.Dr. Ümit Serdaroğlu Jury Special Award,
Sami Güneş’s ‘SQC Sun’, “TQM Practices in Northern Cyprus Schools. Problems and Solutions Project” was given for
the first time this year by Asst. Prof.Dr. Erol İnelmen Jury Special Award,
Nilay İnandim’s ‘Nil’s Plan SQC’ was entitled to receive the Taner Özbey Jury Special Award for its “Problems related to Strategic Planning in Schools in the TRNC and solutions project”.
We congratulate them wholeheartedly and wish them the continuation of their successful work.
Our two valuable schools enrolled in the project will enter the evaluation process next year as the successful studies of METU Foundation College and Mektebim Avcılar College continue in the second year.
Congratulations wholeheartedly to all the teams involved; We wish success to all of them, especially the school leaders and teachers, who have supported them.
