350 Georgian students of the Universities of Kyiv, Erevan and several other foreign countries have been holding a rally at Georgia’s Ministry of Education since yesterday evening, demanding mobility in Georgian Universities without exams. They are the citizens of Georgia, who had become students in 2019 and now want to continue studying in Georgia.

 

A group of students have been protesting the decision of Georgia’s Ministry of Education, according to which they have to pass the Unified National Examinations, the common national exams for higher education.

 

Foreign students have no barriers, they don’t have to pass any exam for mobility. The Ministry tells us that we must pack our suitcases and go to another country... They don’t support us”, said Mari Piralishvili, a student of Kyiv University, Faculty of Law, Economics and Tourism.

 

Eka Rurua, the head of the Student Support Service Division of the Ministry of Education said that ‘as the students are citizens of Georgia, Georgian legislation applies to them’ and they have to pass the exam.

 

They have to pass one exam instead of four. We offered them to pass the exam in Mathematics instead of General Abilities (logic/mathematical abilities), but they refused”, said Rurua.

 

The Ministry of Education has confirmed today that 343 students have already been registered for the General Abilities exam.
