The Georgian government plans to draw up a long-term strategic development plan extending through 2036, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said.

Kobakhidze emphasised that the government had launched ambitious education reforms in response to slow and uneven progress in the sector, which he described as largely spontaneous and lacking tangible results.

He added that the government was open to constructive input from all stakeholders and stressed the importance of involving qualified sector specialists in shaping the strategy.
