Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has announced the establishment of a government commission, which he will chair, to lead a major reform of the country’s higher education system. The initiative is aimed at transforming the system over the next four years.
During today’s government session, Kobakhidze emphasized the urgent need for a “comprehensive overhaul” to improve the quality of education in Georgia.
“The quality of higher education in our country is not satisfactory,” the Prime Minister acknowledged. “However, the resources available in this sector are vast. We must make full use of these resources to ensure that, within four years, Georgian students receive an education on par with that of European countries.”
The commission will be led by Kobakhidze himself, with Aleksandre Tsuladze, the Minister of Education, serving as his deputy, and Levan Izoria, his Advisor on Education and Science, appointed as the Secretary of the commission.
Outlining the commission’s tasks, the PM stressed the need for “swift and intensive action,” urging the team to move quickly in implementing the necessary reforms.
“A specific plan must be created, and the commission will work tirelessly to achieve these goals within the set timeline,” Kobakhidze added.
