Unequal access to information causes great inequalities, especially in the field of education. The gaps created by these inequalities in terms of digital skills, knowledge and experience among young people affect the whole society.
I consider it a sacred duty to give back to Turkey's future the opportunities, accumulated knowledge, and values that these lands have offered us. To this end, we are establishing the Access to Information Technology and Education Foundation, which we have been working on for a long time.
In light of advancing technologies, information technology has become indispensable for all human needs in our time. As situations where the right to information technology is not equal become more apparent, this situation causes great inequalities, especially in the education of young people. The differences in access to information technology create a gap between students in terms of digital skills, knowledge, and experience.
We are committed to contributing to the elimination of these inequalities. Through our foundation, we aim to provide technological product support and scholarship assistance to young people living in disadvantaged areas, establish technology laboratories, support innovative ideas, and serve as a bridge between local governments, authorized public institutions, and educational institutions to promote the campaign for access to information technology and education.
