The "Scheme for Teacher's Activities, Professional Development and Career Advancement" is based on a comprehensive teacher evaluation system. The National Center for Teacher Professional Development of the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia has launched nation-wide trainings for the members of general educational institution teacher evaluation groups.
