Woman in Türkiye learns to read, write at 70, fulfills lifelong dream

A 70-year-old woman named Esme Özgüler in Turkey has completed a literacy course after decades of being unable to access education due to living in a remote area. She moved to live with her daughters in Gaziantep and enrolled in a literacy program run by the Hürriyet Social Solidarity Center. Özgüler, who had struggled with everyday tasks due to illiteracy, now feels more independent and confident. Her journey highlights the importance of education at any age, and she encourages others to pursue learning. Literacy instructors noted her dedication and progress, emphasizing that education can be achieved later in life. The center, which serves women aged 15 to 78, has seen significant growth since its launch in 2022.
