Owing to the initiative of the Ministry, Microsoft Teams was translated into Georgian

With the initiative and support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia, Microsoft, in collaboration with the Education Management Information System (EMIS), managed to translate Microsoft Teams into Georgian, enabling teachers to use the native language while providing lessons online.

Within the scope of partnership with Microsoft, Microsoft's educational portal has also been translated into Georgian, as well as its educational resources. In addition, an interactive Georgian-language Chat-Bot and an e-journal are being integrated into the Georgian version of Microsoft Teams.

The Georgian version of Microsoft Teams is already available for up to 55,000 teachers and more than 600,000 students.

Moreover, the Teams software also has an integrated an electronic resource portal - https://www.el.ge/, making it even easier for teachers to access the educational resources on the website.

The Ministry enhances its efforts on strengthening the distance learning methods. Well-known international organizations such as the OECD and UNICEF have praised the implementation of distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Georgia.
