Reforms
initiated by the Ministry of
Education and Science of Georgia are aimed at teaching and learning development
at schools. In spite of multiple activities carried out in this direction, lack
of qualified teaching staff at high mountainous regions in Georgia still
remains a problem to be tackled. Often schools don’t have teachers of subjects
defined by the National Curriculum. Cases are also frequent when a subject is
taught by not subject specialists. The statement is supported by unfilled
vacancies posted
at the teacher vacancy web-page :(www.teacherjobs.ge) and program data
base. Thus the situation doesn’t guarantee the equal opportunities for quality
education for students.
Consultant-teachers
selected on contest–bases will be disseminated in public schools of Georgia to
fill in the vacancies. The Consultant-teachers will develop action plan based
on various subject teaching needs and National Curriculum, with close collaboration
with school board. By the end of every term a progress report will be drafted
by the teachers on the implemented activities. The consultant–teachers will
employ the updated teaching methods. They will be constantly be held updated on
center implemented programs/activities and news in profession, that will help
them to realize the new initiatives in schools with maximal efficiency. The
consultant-teachers will be employed in schools for at least one academic year and will improve
the teaching and learning processes at schhols.
