The active promotion of strawberry cultivation as a means to bolster agriculture and farmers' income has been gaining momentum, particularly in the central province of Konya and Batman in the southeast of Türkiye.

Notably, the districts of Hüyük in Konya and Sason in Batman are leading the charge, boasting organically grown strawberries and fertile Anatolian soil.

In the rugged terrain of a remote village in the southeastern province of Batman lies a solitary school where an 8-year-old finds himself as the sole student, navigating his educational journey under the guidance of his teacher.

With the COVID-19 pandemic creating the largest disruption in the education system to date, a group of idealist teachers in Turkey's east has been volunteering to help children and assist schools in overcoming their shortcomings.

In the eastern province of Batman, 12 idealist teachers painted and renovated 10 village schools throughout the pandemic period.
