Georgia and the United States have agreed to expand cooperation in education, including increasing grant programs and developing joint academic initiatives. This became known following the visit of the Minister of Education of Georgia, Givi Mikanadze, to Washington, where negotiations were held with representatives of the U.S. State Department.

During the meeting, the current reforms of the Georgian educational system and plans for their further development were discussed. The parties paid special attention to the Fulbright Program, which provides students with opportunities to study in the United States and is considered one of the key platforms for academic exchange between the countries. Tbilisi expressed interest in expanding the participation of its students and researchers in this program.

The importance of cooperation between universities of the two countries and the expansion of dual degree programs was also emphasized separately. According to the parties, such initiatives should strengthen the training of specialists and the development of human capital in Georgia, as well as strengthen long-term educational and scientific ties between Tbilisi and Washington.
