All public schools in Tbilisi and other big cities in Georgia will be equipped with cameras in 2020, the Georgian Education Ministry has reported earlier today.
We will gradually cover all public schools in Georgia and cameras will be installed in all of them starting from 2020,” Deputy Education Minister Ekaterine Dgebuadze said.
She stated that the Institute of Resource Officers, which is responsible for safety at public schools, will be further strengthened next year and the people responsible for safety at private schools will be retrained.
We have plans to initially retrain the people who will be responsible for safety at 223 private schools in Georgia,” Dgebuadze said.
Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia has instructed the Ministries of Education, Justice and Health to ensure higher protection of children following the death of a 15-year-old boy in Tbilisi earlier this month during a school-related investigation.
A total of 7 billion GEL (about $2.61b/€2.29b) will be spent on the construction of new schools and the renovation of old ones, says the Prime Minister of Georgia Mamuka Bakhtadze.
A new adult education system aimed at implementing short-term programmes to train and retrain students will be launched in Georgia, announces the Georgian Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport.
The Georgian government has taken on responsibility to provide “unprecedented support” for education in the country and invest one-fourth of the state budget for educational goals, Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze stated earlier today during the presentation of the government initiative: Education - Way to Freedom.
2019-2020 academic year has started throughout Georgia today, with 700 fully or partly renovated schools. The academic year has begun in more than 2,000 public schools in the country, while the process was delayed for 19 schools due to renovation work there.
