The Georgian government plans to draw up a long-term strategic development plan extending through 2036, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said.
The prime minister also noted that one of the government's key targets under the strategy is to ensure economic growth of at least 6–7 per cent.
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.
“We want to resolve all key issues and, among other things, strategically plan the country’s development in the long-term,” he said. “We have already announced that the plan will be developed through 2036 inclusive.”
Kobakhidze outlined that the strategy would span 11 years and set out clear priorities alongside concrete steps to achieve the government’s goals.
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.
