Debates for Better Education – Training of Teachers

Within the framework of the project “Debates for Better Education”, which is supported by the Gudavadze-Patarkatsishvili Foundation, the final event of the first teacher training was held.

According to the project manager Tinatin Tsertsvadze, the number of people wishing to participate in the training was quite large, so they were selected through a two-stage competition.
