The process of confirming teachers' competencies continues
On July 19, practicing teachers and aspiring teachers take exams in biology, foreign languages, information and communication technologies, and Georgian as a second language. Mikheil Batiashvili, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport, together with Sophio Gorgodze, Director of the National Assessment and Examinations Center, personally inspected the examination process at the examination center opened at Public School No. 103.
Practicing teachers and aspiring teachers joined the examinations on July 10. This year, an unprecedentedly large number of applicants registered to confirm their teacher competence. Out of nearly 31,500 registered individuals, more than 20,000 are practicing teachers. This year's teacher turnout rate is unprecedented – exceeding 80%.
An aspiring educator takes only the subject exam, while a practicing teacher has the opportunity to confirm both professional and subject competence.
