Natia Zedgenidze, Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports says that regardless of the failure of the draft-bill about abolishment of graduation exams in the parliament, students will not face problems and that the bill will be put back on the agenda.

Zedgenidze explained that the bill on making changes into Law on General Education was submitted to the parliament in a speedy manner and that repeated balloting was feasible with full adherence of the set regulations and rules in the nearest future.

The Parliament of Georgia did not support the legislative initiative on abolishment of school graduation exams with its final, third reading today.

The draft failed to get votes as just 54 lawmakers voted in favor of the draft law and there were not enough votes for it to pass.

MP Levan Koberidze asked the Chairman of the Parliament to hold a repeated vote, but Irakli Kobakhidze explained that there was no basis for the repeated vote.
