Georgia: The Georgian Minister of Education, Science and Youth, Giorgi Amilakhvari, and the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, continue meeting with students.

This time, a meeting was held in Kutaisi city with students from all regional state universities, during which the young people learned about the graduate internship program in detail.

The Prime Minister, the Minister, and the students discussed the criteria for selecting graduates, assessment methods, and other essential details within the internship program and introduced students to a new vision of youth policy development.

After the presentation, the meeting was held in question-and-answer mode, and students were allowed to share their opinions about the graduate internship program and learn about interesting, actual issues from the Prime Minister and the education Minister.

The Georgian government prioritizes young people’s participation in making important decisions so that new large-scale initiatives can be implemented with their involvement. Regular meetings with students serve the right purpose.
