During Action Week there will also be a roundtable discussion on Quality Education to End Exclusion that will include Governmental Bodies, NGOs working on education issues and Human Rights Organizations in Georgia What happened in 2007? In Georgia a comprehensive dossier was produced describing the state of the Right to Education in the country. The Coalition brought to the fore the fact that a number of children were denied the right to learn as they were poor and could not afford to buy school materials like books. A round table discussion was held at the Tskneti Training Centre, attended by members of the mass media, NGOs, Heads of Public School Tutorial Councils and Heads of the Teachers Union. During the discussions, participants expressed their concerns on the state of education in Georgia and a documentary 'My School or Unusual Exhibition' was shown. An art exhibition of children's paintings was also held on the theme 'Education a Human Right' and winners were awarded prizes. 2008 Report Card PDF
