„Wir müssen damit rechnen, dass wir bis auf wenige wesentliche Ausnahmen keine ausländischen Studierenden mehr an unseren Landesuniversitäten haben werden. Mit anderen Worten: Dieses Segment wird – sofern weiterhin Interesse besteht – vollständig an private Hochschulen verlagert.“
Wie Sie wissen, sind die Studiengebühren für ausländische Studierende sowohl an staatlichen als auch an privaten Universitäten deutlich höher als die vom Staat bereitgestellten Mittel.
Staatliche Universitäten sollten sich voll und ganz darauf konzentrieren, die Bedürfnisse und Anforderungen des Staates zu erfüllen, und natürlich muss die Regierung ihrerseits die volle Finanzierung sicherstellen, damit der Prozess reibungslos und ohne Unterbrechung abläuft.“

It’s like they wake up thinking how to make the country worse.
It’s a blatant effort to remove financial independence from the universities, silencing effectively the very last part of the public sector which has been able to remain critical of the government
Major sources of Georgia’s income :tourism and education. Now it’ll be like a chair with a missing leg.
why is this country trying to kill itself xdd
Did anyone phone India ?

I’m going to go against the grain here and agree with the gov.
I fully support international students’ right to study in any country they chose, Georgia included.
That being said, state institutions primary purpose is to serve as a high-quality universally affordable and accessible service to a territory’s taxpayers. Georgian citizens or anyone who pays taxes to the Georgian state are the primary beneficiaries of a state institution.
In a field like tertiary education, there’s only so many professors, classrooms, labs, assistants, etc…all of which already greatly limits the number of students said institution can serve. For every international student that attends a university, one less domestic student can attend. There’s a defined number of students universities can realistically accept before the quality of education becomes sacrificed. Of course, that’s partly why international students pay more in tuition—to compensate for the fact that they didn’t pay taxes into the institution and to compensate for the fact that they’re taking a spot that could’ve otherwise gone to a domestic student.
In the case of state-funded universities, I don’t necessarily see a problem with wanting to ensure that said state’s own citizens reap the benefits of the system that they paid for.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that there isn’t a nefarious ulterior motive behind the Georgian Government’s reason for doing this. I’ll happy entertain those reasons, but, at face-value, I agree with this.
Really dumb move I would say. As someone with a gf who pays 5k usd/year studying for a third degree just to stay here and work 10 hours a day in the medical field earning 50gel/day (not even full time) – not indian (just to avoid haters).
Georgia’s one great move was the one year nomad visa – low business taxes and tax obligation after 6 months.
I’ve bought multiple apartments in this country and pay taxes here, just because these policies were relaxed. People are (not so wrongfully) concerned with immigration because we see the situation in europe, but the difference is that Georgia doesn’t offer any incentive for foreigners to stay here.
No social benefits being thrown at lazy people, no high salaries in any jobs that would motivate students to stay here. I don’t want to be rude, but there is actually a serious brain drain going on in Georgia. Skilled engineers, doctors and crafts people are moving abroad. Just try to refurbish an apartment here or look at the electrical work on outside buildings and you experience the headache.
Georgia could become a major player in banking for example with the right policies or giving incentives for big companies to establish here. Georgia actually have huge potential, but the current government is taking huge steps backwards.
On one hand restricting rights and visa for students – but on the other hand in bed with the russian government and giving russians (that georgians hate) so many liberties.
It’s a tough situation because prices have gone up drastically for locals and the salaries here are not liveable and foreigners are largely to blame for this, but I still do not think that what the government is doing is helping.
Their ideas are just about restriction and not about expansion. Less freedom even for locals.
Young gen is were they get most resistance. They want to grow more obedient generation, neutered, raised under a boot.
