“Our highest priority is to provide access to quality education nationwide, strengthen a knowledge-based society, promote science aligned with economic needs, and empower young people. To achieve this, the Ministry is dedicated to an innovative, holistic, and results-oriented management system, focusing on three main areas:
- Realizing the full potential of children, students, and young people at all levels of education.
- Supporting the professional and career development of educators, professors, scientists, researchers, and all individuals within the educational and scientific systems.
- Strengthening educational institutions through good governance and accountability.
Our policies aim to cultivate the potential of every citizen, instill a sense of dignity and national pride, and address modern challenges while driving economic progress through education," Tsuladze remarked.
