According to the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia Mikheil Chkhenkeli, in the towns and villages where the infection rate will be below 4%, education will be resumed in classrooms from October 4.

At the briefing held after the meeting of the Interagency Coordination Council, he explained in detail how and in what form the educational process will be resumed.

“State, as well as private kindergartens, will not function until October 4, and of course we will return to this issue on October 4. As for schools, vocational colleges and higher education institutions, they will start resume functioning remotely on September 15 and will last so until October 4.

I want to explain in detail what will happen on October 4 and what criteria we will use. We decided to take a differentiated approach. This means that education will be resumed in classrooms from October 4 in the towns and villages with the infection rate lower than 4%”, said the Minister.
