Do you think the new United National Examinations system has brought social justice to Georgia, as the President says?
Monday, August 24
“My daughter has passed the National Exams this year and I think they were conducted quite fairly. I agree with the President’s words, absolutely”
Lela, economist, 50
“I don’t know exactly, because I passed my entrance exams under the old system, which in my opinion was fully corrupt and unfair. I was quite disappointed then, because I could not get the funding, and I think it was because of the corrupt system in our universities.”
Natia, lawyer, 24
“I don’t believe it is 100 percent fair in United National Exams, but generally it is quite good, so it seems. “
Nata, nurse, 30
“I agree with his words, because the National Exams are really well organised. I like this new system and consider it works well.”
Maia, teacher, 41
“I think that the system is truly just, but some changes should be brought in. In general I have no complaints.”
Gia, doctor, 31
“There is a great difference between today’s and previous education systems. I think that very important positive steps are being made in this direction. I like the new system and suppose it is more comfortable and acceptable for our children.”
Lana, painter, 28
“To tell the truth I don’t think it is 100 percent fair but it is considerably better than the old one. My son passed his exams last year and the process was perfectly organised. The result was satisfactory as well.”
Giorgi, actor, 27
“Yes I think he is absolutely right. If there weren’t such an examination system in Georgia I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to study. I have experienced the justice of these exams myself.”
Ano, student 19
“In my opinion these exams are fair and everyone who is keen on studying is able to pass them. I like them and I agree with the President when he says that these exams have brought social justice to Georgia.”
Lali, hairdresser, 38
“Well in my opinion the national exams have made it possible for children of all social layers to become students without pulling strings for their children via their relatives and acquaintances. The only thing I don’t like is that only a small number of the students are financed by the Government and others have to pay a large sum of money for their studies.”
