Education:A Right, Not a Privilege

 My academic journey has been deeply influenced by a keen interest in the complex dynamics of education systems. My doctoral dissertation concentrated on social system theory, school climate theory, and leadership, with a specific focus on the persistent issue of teacher shortages in Pennsylvania schools over the past decade. I investigated how economic, environmental, and leadership factors, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, impacted this shortage. By utilizing comprehensive quantitative analysis, I explored the various elements affecting the distribution of emergency certifications within the state. This research has provided me with valuable insights into the interconnectedness of families, communities, and schools, and has enabled me to develop a nuanced understanding of the educational landscape through these critical theories.

Education is a universal need, and my experiences across different countries have enriched my understanding of its global dimensions. I have had the privilege to study and volunteer in diverse educational environments, including Turkey, Africa, the USA, and Syria. Spending a semester at Harvard and another in Uganda offered me a unique perspective on how cultural, political, and economic factors influence educational philosophies and structures worldwide. Working with families from varied socioeconomic backgrounds has also provided me with firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by disadvantaged populations.

One of my most impactful experiences was volunteering on the Turkish-Syrian border in Gaziantep, Turkey. Here, I witnessed the critical importance of addressing education in emergencies, understanding the role of crisis management and policy reform in ensuring educational continuity. My time in Uganda as a volunteer teacher further solidified my dedication to advocating for educational equity, as I engaged with local communities to support disadvantaged children.

As a passionate advocate for educational equality, I am driven by the belief that education is a powerful tool for social change. My mission is to promote a more equitable distribution of quality education worldwide, recognizing it as a cornerstone for creating a brighter future. I believe that further research and innovative policy development are essential to advance the field of education, particularly in crisis situations where education serves as a pillar of stability and hope.
