A picture of a mother receiving an honorary degree alongside her daughter has resurfaced on the internet. The image is from 2018, when the mother Havva Kul was awarded the degree for helping her visually impaired daughter Berru Merve Kul complete her 4-year graduate degree.
According to a BBC report, the University of Sakarya in Turkey lacked reading material in Braille or audio sources for Berru, which is when Kul stepped in to help out her daughter.
Kul read aloud all the texts and notes to Berru. So, to recognise Kul's efforts and dedication to her daughter's education, the university wanted to show bestowed her with the honorary degree.
