Georgian Education System

Georgian Educational SystemI have been so lucky to learn about the Georgia Education System while staying in Tilbilsi, the Capitol of Georgia. We had panel discussions with the representatives from the Department of Higher Education and Science Development at Ministry of Education and Science and we learned about how boys and girls are taught in schools here. We also got to visit a school in Tilbilsi today and it was great! I was so lucky to be in a Georgian Chemistry,English, P.E. and in a 1st Grade class. The Georgian education beliefs are civic awareness, respect or cultural values, encouraging mental and physical abilities, a healthy lifestyle, and a sense of civic responsibility. I learned a lot about Georgian schools and how much they have changed since the 2003, when schools were still controlled by the Soviet Union. STEM Education is also very important here too. When students graduate from high school (they call it secondary school here) there are not enough kids getting University degrees in areas such as Engineers, Computer Technicians and Science. There are more girls and boys majoring in these areas, as they know they will get good, high paying jobs successfully.
