SRP Class Site Visit

Within the scope of the I2Q Project implementation mission, the World Bank representatives and PMU visited Tbilisi 132 Public School on March 29, 2023. Tbilisi 132 Public School is one of the selected 150 schools where a modernized, revised, and child-centered school readiness program will be pilot implemented. ESIDA – Educational and Scientific Infrastructure Development Agency – conducts the rehabilitation works.

The opening of 150 SRP groups is planned for September 2024, where a revised program and trained workforce will be provided as a result of the ECE capacity-building activities currently being carried out by SDSURF. The I2Q project will support the SRP introduction with much-needed equipment, furniture, and technology.

While selecting the schools, priority was given to the areas with no kindergartens, existing kindergartens are overcrowded or within a long walking distance, ethnical minorities settlements, and schools with an increasing flow of children are also prioritized.
