**Georgia‘s Education System in Jeopardy**
The National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement in Georgia is facing a serious problem. The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) has threatened to kick them out of their group because they didn’t meet certain standards. This means that the center might lose its good name with another important organization called the European Quality Assurance Register (EQAR).
**Shortcomings Found**
A team of international experts visited Georgia in October 2023 to check if the National Center was doing a good job. They found some things that weren’t quite right, but the center says they’ve already fixed these problems.
**Experts Disagree**
However, other experts don’t think this is just a minor issue. They believe that the government is interfering too much in the education system and using it to get what it wants from universities. This could have serious consequences for Georgian students who want to study abroad or work with international partners.
**Big Consequences**
If Georgia loses its good name with ENQA and EQAR, it could lead to problems like:
* Difficulty getting recognition for Georgian diplomas in the EU
* Trouble with joint educational programs between Georgian universities and foreign institutions
* Negative impact on international student mobility and university revenues
The experts are worried that this could even affect the validity of Georgian medical degrees abroad. They’re urging the government to take action to fix these problems before it’s too late.
**More Problems Ahead?**
This situation is causing a lot of concern among education experts in Georgia. They think that if things don’t improve, the country might lose its place in the international education community.
