The Georgian Government is ready to provide “maximum assistance” to Israeli students who have not been able to continue their studies in Ukraine due to the outbreak of the war in the country, so that they are able to continue studies at Georgian universities “in a timely manner”, Mikheil Chkhenkeli, the Georgian Minister of Education told an Israeli delegation in a meeting on Wednesday.
At the meeting, details of ensuring mobility transfers of Israeli students from Ukrainian to Georgian higher education institutions were discussed, the Ministry said.
The Ministry has offered the international students English-language medicine programmes recognised by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME), as well as English-language educational programmes in pharmacy and dentistry.
It will also facilitate expedited administration of relevant mobility procedures, recognition of credits, and timely enrolment of students in relevant higher education institutions.
During the meeting, Nissim Ben-Shitrit, the former Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ran Gidor, the Israeli Ambassador to Georgia, thanked the Government PM Irakli Garibashvili for their support to the Israeli students in the backdrop of the ongoing military actions in Ukraine.
Gidor also noted Georgia had prospects to establish itself as a regional educational hub for international students.
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.
Citizens of Israel who were studying healthcare in Ukraine and have not been able to continue the studies due to the outbreak of war will be able to use accelerated mobility procedures to keep their courses in the Georgian education system.
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.
Ukrainian citizens currently in the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi will receive services of a select group of sports centres, museum venues, theatre halls, libraries and art schools free of charge, Tbilisi City Hall announced earlier today.
