Furthermore early quality education is considered as the foundation of a successful career by all educational experts.

It is to be added that with the advancement of technology many changes have also happened in the early educational sector of the country. The Georgian government also has taken many initiatives in the past years to uplift the country’s early education sector. Many new pre-level education schools have opened as a part of the educational reforms.

UNICEF Georgia is a very active partner in the country’s early education growth. Moreover UNICEF’s Georgia representative Jesper Moller is also very vocal about early education and youth issues. 

A few days ago he met schoolchildren in villages in the Zugdidi Municipality. During this meeting many young people shared their views on many topics including media literacy, gender equality, and more.

As per Jesper Moller the meeting with the school children is an important platform that provides the youth with an opportunity to share their views on different topics ranging from employment generation to gender equality in the country.  The Georgian government has also expressed its gratitude to UNICEF for its efforts in this direction.
