TBILISI, November 12 – Pupils at public schools in Georgia who started the year without the full set of new textbooks will receive the rest before the second semester begins, the Education Ministry says.
Students were given only the first part of the newly approved books before classes started in September. The ministry has not explained why the remaining books were delayed.
The problem comes during an extensive rewrite of Georgia’s school textbooks and curriculum.
Earlier this year, education officials said new textbooks were being introduced for several grades and that schools would receive them before the start of classes.
The government had set a goal of having new textbooks across all grades and subjects ready by the start of the 2026-2027 school year.
