Mamuka Bakhtadze: A legislative initiative will be developed to obligate subsequent Governments to invest 6% of GDP in the sector of education
2019-03-12 As Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze stated during the briefing before today's Government meeting, a legislative initiative will be developed to obligate future Governments to invest 6% of GDP in the sector of education. According to the Head of Government, the educational sector's budget this year has been enhanced, and it will be further enhanced in the course of next two years. According to the Prime Minister, it is of vital importance to ensure maximal engagement in the development of this idea of national importance. Under this idea, we are starting to develop the system of adult education within vocational education as part of our complex educational reform. We will offer our citizens an innovation involving professional retraining by vocations demanded in the job market, and also rapid employment. It is a unique opportunity that will boost jobs in our economy. At the same time, the state will finance priority directions identified as fields with high percentages of employment potential. Short-term training/retraining courses will be offered at schools of vocational education in the areas of construction, services, agriculture, and IT, and other areas will expand gradually. I am convinced that it will prove a fast and effective way and another important step toward overcoming poverty," Mamuka Bakhtadze stated. Prime Minister's Press Office
