AK Party deputy Rümeysa Kadak (28) completed her master's degree in business at Oxford University with a scholarship awarded to only 4 people in the world.
THEY IMPLIED PATRONAGE
After this development regarding Kadak, who shared her graduation photos on her X account, many people made "patronage" insinuations.
COMMENTS POURED IN
Kadak made a statement on her account in response to comments like "Imam hatip for the children of the people, Oxford for you," and "What a fair world. 30% of the school is partially funded. Who paid the 70%?"
MADE A STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO REACTIONS
Kadak stated that there is no free education in England like in Turkey and that she studied with an official scholarship from Oxford, saying, "I am grateful to have qualified for this scholarship, which a maximum of 4 people can benefit from. I did not disrupt the parliament for this program; if you look at the parliamentary records, you could see my participation. Since I am a secretary member, I already have no such possibility. If we are not present in the council, the general assembly cannot start its work."
"SELECTED AS THE BEST MASTER'S PROGRAM IN ITS FIELD"
The program I graduated from is a master's program specifically designed for executives with a heavy workload. A politician friend of mine from Belgium is also my classmate, and my friend who is the dean at Columbia University, as well as my friends who are executives at the world's largest investment companies.
The program I studied was selected as the best master's program in its field in the world. However, beyond that, I specifically wanted to study abroad because I thought there would be those who would claim that I got in through patronage no matter which university I attended in Turkey. I never thought I would have to explain why I studied at Oxford one day," she said.
