In order to assess the newly
implemented entrepreneurship module, the first deputy Minister of Education and
Science of Georgia – Ketevan Natriashvili, held a meeting with the
representatives of Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, International
School of Economy (ISET) and the donor organizations.
The development of self-employment
and the entrepreneurship skills is one of the leading components for the
individuals involved in the vocational education system. Consequently, a new
module was designed, by the National Center for Educational Quality
Enhancement, which involved an active participation of employers, international
organizations and many more.
The implementation of the new
Entrepreneurship module has started since 2015 and it is mandatory for every
vocational education student. Thus, it was of paramount significance for the
Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia to assess the newly implemented
initiative, in conjunction with hearing recommendations. Furthermore, the newly
implemented module was assessed positively by the researchers. In order to
improve the results, it has been outlined to base the education process more on
practical activities, as well as using simulation teaching mechanisms and
increasing the competence of the individuals who are involved in the teaching
of entrepreneurship.
Ketevan Natriashvili initiated an entrepreneurial
platform to implement the identified recommendations. Also, the involvement of
relevant agencies in order to improve the practical component of the education
was outlined as one of the key issues.
