Georgian language pilot program launches in Greece

Georgian language is about to be taught at public schools in Greece.

Greece’s Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Issues decided to launch a Georgian language pilot program in some of its schools. 

The decision came after years of negotiations between the Georgian Embassy in Greece and the Greek Government. 

In the announcement yesterday, the Greek Education Ministry said the program would initially launch in one school in capital Athens, where many Georgians students currently lived and received their education.

The Georgian Government will provide financial and logistic support for the pilot program, while the curriculum will be planned and implemented in adherence to Greece’s legislation and educational regulations.
