The entire EERA community is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our colleague, friend and Council Member Kadir Beycioğlu. Kadir represented the Educational Administration Research and Development Association (EARDA) with distinction and played an active role in the work of EERA. He was a wise friend and a willing worker who will be greatly missed by all who were privileged to know him. We offer our deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues in EARDA and the wider Turkish educational research community.
