Director statement



In our current era, the pace of technological advancement has significantly accelerated, leading to a widening generation gap. This gap encompasses various aspects including understanding, needs, and interests.The lack of connection between the two generations has resulted in the new generation being faced with serious challenges in their upbringing by the older generation. Consequently, poor decisions made by ineffective managers and officials can result in irreparable harm, particularly when these decisions pertain to the younger generation.
