Beginning next year, Armenian and Azerbaijani applicants, who wish to
receive higher education in Georgia, will take exams only in general
subjects, Russian news source Gruzia Online reports.

Tests will be in Azerbaijani and Armenian but if applicants score
high enough, they will receive one-month training in Georgian.

These admission rules were stipulated by the reforms made on the
law on higher education, which was discussed today during its second
reading at a meeting of the Parliamentary Commission on Education,
Science and Culture.

The main essence of the reforms is that Georgian citizens having
entered higher educational institutions must develop adequate skills
in and knowledge of the Georgian language in order to continue their
post-secondary education in the bachelor program.
