The scope and pace of education reforms
in Georgia over the last decade are unique in the region but
have not yet yielded the expected improvements in the
quality of education. In particular, reforms of financing
and governance of educational institutions, that other
countries have been grappling with for years, have been
implemented. The key reforms included: (i) the
decentralization of the management; (ii) the adoption of a
per-student financing mechanism at all levels of education;
(iii) the creation, under the umbrella of the ministry of
education and science, of new public legal entities
responsible for ensuring the quality of reforms; (iv) the
adoption of new standards and outcome-based national
curricula in general education along with the development of
new textbooks; and (v) the design of a new national
assessment and examination system. The government has set a
clear vision for the future of the education sector as a
tool for human capital development to support economic
growth. To achieve the new vision for the sector s
development, the government needs to address the remaining
challenges both at the system and sub-sector level. The
analysis presented in this report reveals that the major
challenge across all levels of education in Georgia is
improving quality and, more specifically, improving student
outcomes. The document presents comparative analysis and
brings in relevant examples from other countries and country
comparisons for that purpose. |
