Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze announced that the salaries of around 13,500 full-time employees at Tbilisi’s public kindergartens will increase by GEL 125, lining up with the pre-election promise made by the Prime Minister about supporting the preschool education system.
With five new kindergartens opened across the capital and significant investments put into them, Kaladze emphasized the past year as particularly successful for kindergarten development. Per the announcement, seven new kindergarten facilities are under construction.
Apart from supporting infrastructure, City Hall has also invested in kindergarten supplies such as food, toys, linens, and more, which, alongside the wage increase, will likely improve conditions for both educators and children.
