Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili and a group of majoritarian MPs of the country's legislative body brought presents to the Ukrainian children enrolled in Georgian public schools on Saturday.
The Georgian Parliament hosted a reception for the kids from Ukraine earlier today. During the reception, Papuashvili addressed the students, their parents and teachers, expressing hope they would spend an “interesting time” in Georgia.
I congratulate you on your enrolment in Georgian schools. Now you are in the parliament building as students. I am sure you will have an opportunity to visit again,” Papuashvili said.

Vice Speaker David Sergeenko also addressed the guests, saying the MPs would try their best to ensure the Ukrainian kids would spend an “unforgettable” time in Georgia.
I genuinely believe that your time in Georgia will be full of positive emotions and new friendships. We will do our best to ensure that the period you spend in Georgia is special and unforgettable,” Sergeenko said.
The Georgian Education Ministry announced last month that the Ukrainian students affected by the ongoing war in their country would be able to enrol in Georgian schools in a simplified manner.
It is “especially important” to support and assist Ukrainian families displaced by the war, Giorgi Tkemaladze, the Head of Tbilisi City Assembly, said at today’s meeting with parents of Ukrainian students recently enrolled in Georgian schools.
Parents of 110 Ukrainian students have enrolled their children in Georgian schools following an offer from the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia for continuing their studies in the country as the war in Ukraine prevents them from going back, the Ministry announced earlier on Tuesday.
A total of 38 children affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine have been enrolled in Georgian schools, Tamar Makharashvili, the Georgian Deputy Minister of Education, said on Friday.
Makharashvili noted the Ukrainian students would be able to join Georgian schools in a “simplified procedure,” meaning they would still be accepted without the documentation.
Primary school students affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine will be enrolled in Georgian public and private schools in a simplified manner, the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia announced on Friday.
