"We will work with teachers on the place to identify their professional needs, and then German and Georgian vocational schools will be able to become friends, which will enable Georgian educational institutions to send best students together with teachers to German hotels for practice. We are glad that the National Center for Teacher Professional Development has invited us to help in the development of Georgian vocational education. As you know, dual vocational education planned to implement in your country is a German model. We will facilitate teachers to successfully implement this model in the educational process".
