As part of the project to integrate media literacy into formal education, the Communications Commission has trained around 70 teachers in Zestaponi and Kutaisi. Training was led by media literacy trainer Rusudan Karkadze. Participants learned about the teaching module and completed practical assignments that will help them teach the media literacy class to students.

The project to integrate media literacy into formal education began in 2022, and serves to introduce an optional subject for 10^th graders. The pupils will study under the guidance of trained teachers for one semester and learn about media literacy, media and information language, information processing and disinformation.

The Communications Commission, in close cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia, is implementing the “Integration of Media Literacy into Formal Education” project, which is funded by UNICEF. The project will offer training to a total of 500 teachers from every region of Georgia.
