The MCA’s project envisages the rehabilitation and equipment with laboratories of 91 public schools in total throughout Georgia. 30 of them are in Western Georgia.
The rehabilitation of these 30 schools will ensure that 15,200 students have a better environment for studying. 15 million USD will be allocated for renovation works.
"These works include improving infrastructure and the full rehabilitation of schools ensuring they are up to European standards,” MCA Georgia Chief Executive Officer Magda Magradze said.

In terms of general education changes include supporting teachers and their professional development, better quality books for students and development of their creative thinking, as well as introducing modern technologies in schools.
