The “European School in Georgia” project (Phase II) was launched in 2021. As a flagship project, it represents a strategic priority for the Government of Georgia and the EU to address the needs of the youth, focusing on secondary education.
The project is part of the EU’s larger efforts to offer high quality education to students from all six Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries and was included as one of the “Eastern Partnership - 20 Deliverables for 2020”.
