Background
Improvement of the quality of education in the country is one of the top priorities of the Government of Georgia. In order to be coherent with these main goals and objectives, the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia (MES) undertakes a broad educational reform process that has been acknowledged to be one of the most successful among the reforms carried out by the public institutions and the Government of Georgia as a whole. The fact of becoming the member country of the Bologna process (May, 2005) can be named as a notable success of the MES and obtaining Vice-Presidency of the UNESCO’s category I institution – International Bureau of Education (January, 2010) is an international recognition of these accomplishments.

In order to foster the educational reforms currently underway at the Ministry, the MES has an ambitious initiative to develop and promote foreign language teaching process in Georgia through the project “Teach and Learn with Georgia”. The Government of Georgia strongly believes that the successful implementation of this program will have a profound impact on the Georgian youngsters and the entire country, resulting in adopting and sharing Western values and culture, together with the language proficiency.
