In his comments about the Georgian Government’s assistance programs for Ukrainian nationals since the start of hostilities in their country last month, Tkemaladze said the Government was “trying its best” to create comfortable living conditions for the families stranded in Georgia by the war.
I am sure peace will be restored in Ukraine soon and Ukrainian children returning to their country will have many pleasant memories of Georgia,” Tkemaladze told the families.
At the meeting, the parents of Ukrainian students were informed about the Government’s latest initiative for opening Ukrainian-language sections at Tbilisi-based educational venues.

A total of 215 Ukrainian students have already joined classes in the capital city of Tbilisi and regions of the country.
Ukrainian-language sections will be opened at Tbilisi-based educational venues for students from Ukraine who are having to stay in the capital during the conflict in their home country, Georgia’s Education Ministry announced on Friday.
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.
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.
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.
Ukrainian students stranded in Georgia by the outbreak of the war in their country can now join classes in their native language at Public School No. 20 in the Black Sea city of Batumi, the Education Ministry announced on Wednesday.
