The Armenia schools in Georgia received Armenian language and literature textbooks after a four-year interval. The local Armenian-language media outlet jnews.ge reports, the students will study with the new textbooks following an agreement reached between Georgia’s ministry of education and Armenia’s ministry of diaspora.

In total, 19 017 name textbooks were donated to 1st-9th graders of the Armenian schools by the ministry, the source said.

The head of Akhalkalaki Education Resources Center Tereza Chitchyan told jnews.ge the books were distributed among 65 schools of the region. “We informed that the books were in poor condition, and the schools were in dire need of new textbooks. The problem was finally solved,” Chitchyan said.

The news outlet reminds that last time Armenian schools in Georgia’s Javakheti region received Armenia language textbooks in December 2015 that were never used due to failure to meet the requirements of the schooling process adopted by Georgian authorities. The school students had to study with books received back in 2013.

It is noted that 55 schools out of 66 in Akhalkalaki region are Armenian-language with total number of 7176 students.
