The new academic year has commenced at public schools throughout Georgia, welcoming over 50,000 first-graders this year.

Due to recent amendments to the registration policy, an additional 7,000 children were allowed to enrol.

Giorgi Amilakhvari, Georgian Minister of Education, Science, and Youth Affairs, congratulated the students on starting the new academic year. He visited Tbilisi #160 Public School alongside Tbilisi City Assembly (Sakrebulo) Chair Giorgi Tkemaladze and Sakrebulo member Vladimer Bozhadze, where they inspected the newly reconstructed facilities and infrastructure.

According to the Ministry of Education, 60 public schools in Tbilisi are slated for complete reconstruction in September and October, while the construction of approximately 100 additional schools is expected to be finished by the end of the year.

In the 2024-2025 academic year, the regional school support initiative will continue to enhance accessibility to education through a transportation program for students.

All students will receive textbooks and notebooks, and first-graders, along with educators in Georgian public schools, will be provided with portable computers for the new academic year.
