The Prime Minister inspected the school under construction in the village of Sadguri Sviri
The population of the village of Sadguri Sviri will have a new school starting from the next academic year. Today, Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili, together with Tamar Sanikidze, Minister of Education and Science of Georgia, inspected the construction of the modern-standard school designed for 120 students.
The Head of Government conversed with the teachers and students, stating that education is a government priority and that the existence of appropriate infrastructure throughout the country is of great importance.
Teachers of the Sviri Public School thanked the Prime Minister and noted that the construction of the new school will solve one of the village's major problems and improve the learning environment for the children. According to them, the educational process currently takes place in the auxiliary buildings of a high-voltage railway substation located on the outskirts of the village, where basic sanitary and hygienic conditions are lacking. Furthermore, a high-voltage substation operates 25 meters away from the building, and high-voltage transmission lines with strong electromagnetic radiation pass right above the roof. As the Prime Minister stated, the progress and development of the country are unimaginable without high-quality, modern, European-standard education. “Education is precisely what will place our homeland among the ranks of developed European countries. Therefore, our Government is making every effort to create all necessary conditions for pupils and students to acquire knowledge. Our goal is to ensure that, over time, educational institutions in any corner of Georgia meet modern standards and yield an entire generation of educated, competitive youth,” the Prime Minister noted.
The construction of the Sadguri Sviri school has been underway for three months, employing 50 people on site. The school construction will be completed in September. According to the Head of Government, 9 new schools are being built across Georgia, and the rehabilitation of approximately 340 schools is also planned throughout 2014.
