It’s true: Education Empowers
The charts, tables and graphs in this report all support a single conclusion: The return on investment in education is extraordinary.
The more education a Georgian has, the more likely he or she will live a better life. As individuals benefit, so do their families and communities. And the state itself becomes a far more attractive place to live and work.
That’s why providing the means and incentives for every Georgian to pursue education as far as possible is a smart investment – not just for today, but for the future of Georgia.
