Mine Ekinci, who studied political science and international relations at Robert College and Boğaziçi University, and then completed her master's degree at Harvard, produces projects for both students and village teachers through the Village Schools Exchange Network, which she founded and focuses on education in villages.

Mine Ekinci is an exemplary role model for young people. She's a young woman who, in my opinion, has set out to address one of Türkiye's most pressing issues. After a very successful education, she's a social entrepreneur who has dedicated herself to improving the education system in villages. I met Mine Ekinci years ago, and she's made a remarkable journey since then. I want more people to hear about her work. Mine Ekinci studied at Robert College and then at Boğaziçi University. She attended Harvard.
