Azerbaijan
Higher education will become more accessible for Armenians and
Azerbaijanis in Georgia. Relevant amendments will be made to the Law
on Higher Education.
The bill, which was initiated by the government, has been already
introduced to the Parliament. It aims to promote integration of
Georgian citizens of Armenian and Azerbaijani nationality in the
Georgian society, as they form the largest part non-Georgian language
population.
Under the amendments, Azerbaijani and Armenian applicants will pass
an examination only on one subject - general skills in their native
language at the unified national examinations, and they will study a
special program of the Georgian language in the first year. If by the
end of the course, a student scores 60 credits, he/she will be able
to choose a specialty and continue their studies at a university in
the Georgian language.
The bill has already was endorsed by the Committee on Relations with
Compatriots, although its members were in favor of making higher
education more accessible for Abkhazians and Ossetians, as well.
