It provides its stance regarding teachers' pedagogical qualifications on behalf of students. It uses the funds acquired for its activities from the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology to co-finance various activities related to study (trips, publications, lectures etc.). SCFA's activities are public and are open to all interested parties.
