Concern for education or a PR-campaign?

2009-07-15 14:11 Tbilisi believes he has got much influence upon Saakashvili's team. In troublesome times, he was an executive director of the Soros Foundation. The new leaders highly appreciated his services to the Rose Revolution, having appointed him minister of education.

During the post-revolutionary years, the education was pulled on to the West-like track just like it was pulled in Russia.

Many of the Georgian universities were deprived of their buildings, while the tutors were deprived of their work. The current Minister of Education and Science of Georgia Nika Gvamaria has been holding his post for less than a year and has not yet proven himself. He is just going on with the reforms started by his predecessor. These reforms were highly estimated by the international organizations.

Still, the Georgian patriots give them a rather negative estimation. "The educational sphere in Georgia is ill-systemized. While the team of the Ministry of Education is engaged in making the so-called educational institution reforms, there will be no steps forward in the field of education. The more so, as the state executive personnel is obviously lacking qualification and professional skills", - they say. And now Gia Tsagareishvili, a delegate, has to ask the president of Georgia to pay the teachers their leave salary.

Are the oppositionists going to solve the problems in the educational sphere? Hardly, for there are too many political problems to be solved and the recent opposition's demarche is rather a challenge for the authorities: who is going to make a better PR-campaign.
