Founded in 2016, KODA is on a mission to provide quality education in rural schools in Türkiye. Mostly referred to in context of their deprivation, these schools offer a platform to reach disadvantaged children and families.
KODA’s three strategic objectives are:
1. Develop exemplary educational practices for rural schools
2. Empower rural school teachers
3. Create an expanding community, fit to pioneer change in rural schools.
KODA’s First Step Toward Village Schools program is active in 27 universities, 40% of universities in Türkiye with a corresponding department as of the 2024-25 academic year and aims to prepare primary school teachers for their work in rural areas through knowledge sharing and onsite workshops.
KODA’s Teacher Communities program allows teachers in various regions to share their experience, creating local networks.
