Protest rally underway outside Ministry of Education - VIDEO

Georgian students have staged a rally outside the Ministry of Education of Georgia to protest against new regulations by the Ministry.

The Ministry has introduced a new regulation according to which students at the universities of Ukraine, Armenia, and Azerbaijan will have to take the general skills test to enter the universities of Georgia within the mobility program.

Demonstrators have pitched tents outside the Ministry of Education. The Change Movement also supports the activists, with its members gathered outside the Ministry. The police are on the scene; they have set up a police cordon there.

A total of 350 students are protesting against new regulations, for they think that students must be entitled to move to Georgian universities without taking exams. 

The Ministry of Education has already responded to protesters. Eka Rurua, the Head of the Student's Social Support Division, declared that international students must adhere to the legislation of Georgia and take the general skills tests. In her words, instead of four exams, they will have to pass one only.

Activists also plan to block the road in the vicinity of the Ministry.
