Children left without pre-school education in Javakheti
Tbilisi. The Social Justice Center publishes a blog post by Tigran Tarzyan reviewing problems of children left without pre-school education in the Javakheti region.
“There neither was and nor is a kindergarten in the village where I live, even though currently there reside about 15 children of kindergarten age there. Everyday village life is hard. It is exhausting work, long working day, a lot of things to do both indoor and outdoor. Morning starts early by performing household and domestic chores. Each member of a family has a particular duty. Everyone works from morning till late at night. Even children are not exception. In the village, they are also involved in the work process and, consequently, they miss the opportunity of age-appropriate upbringing and education. The fact that education is not available from an early age aggravates the situation related to integration of children belonging to ethnic minorities. They do not learn the language and that further worsens the situation”.
