Georgian minister meets Azeri students

Minister of Education and Science of Georgia, Dimitri Shashkini met Azeri 12th graders at the Tbilisi State University and discussed with them the details of the university admission program. The program was launched last year and up to 300 entrants benefited from it.

The students receive state funding according to the score of the general ability test, and these state grants are retained while students pursue their respective academic programs as well.

The program designed for supporting the ethnic minority entrants in receiving a higher education is one of the priority programs of the Ministry. Representatives of the Ministry regularly organized meetings in ethnic minority regions in order to promote this program.

Receiving a higher education in native language proves to be an effective mean of building a career for the ethnic minority population. More students are taking an interest to study the state language and then take the unified exams in Georgian language.
