“I have been teaching civic education for fourteen years at school and always felt a need to add more to educational process. Now our school became a partner of the MT program and students can apply the knowledge gained at lessons into practice.
This changed attitude of students towards civics said Lia Diasamidze, Civics Teacher from Sachino public school. A total of 480 civics teachers in all regions of Georgia will be trained by the use of MT;s training course by April 2015.
