The Prime Minister answered students’ questions regarding the Government’s long term plans of improving the country’s educational system.
Kvirikashvili said the education reform would be based on a "fundamental research” of the state labour market.
"This will be dynamic research for the nearest five years to define the number of professions which Georgia will need,” Kvirikashvili told the students.
"State resources should be spent only on professions in which there will be a real demand.”
The PM said youth’s engagement in the Government’s plans was crucial.
"So we’re waiting for all of you back in Georgia,” he said.
