To integrate media literacy into formal education, the Communications Commission used the media literacy teaching module to train 80 teachers, who will be able to choose the subject from the new academic year. The meetings were led by media literacy scholar and textbook author Natalia Ingorokva, who informed the participants in detail about the media literacy educational standard and the “Media Literacy Lessons” textbook. The trained teachers will teach 10^th, 11^th and 12^th grade pupils media literacy as an optional subject. For one semester, pupils will study the language of media and information, information processing, types of disinformation, as well as the techniques of detecting fake news and determining the truth using different methods.

The Communications Commission, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth and with the support of UNICEF, continues to actively promote the integration of media literacy into formal education. Within the scope of the project, 10^th, 11^th and 12^th grade pupils are already learning the subject of media literacy in 6 schools across Georgia. Media literacy is currently included on the list of optional subjects of the national curriculum, and is taught by teachers in different subject groups. 

The project to integrate media literacy into formal education was launched by the Communications Commission in 2022. The Commission carried out research on media literacy needs, devised an educational standard, teaching module and textbook, which were used to train 1600 teachers across Georgia in teaching media literacy. Starting from the 2023-2024 academic year, media literacy has been taught as an optional subject in grades X to XII. 

It is important for the Communications Commission to increase the number of schools that will take advantage of this opportunity and help students to cope with 21^st century challenges by choosing the subject of media literacy from the school age. Therefore, in order to integrate media literacy into formal education, the Communications Commission continues to train teachers in teaching media literacy, media and informational language, information processing, and disinformation.
