Samegrelo. The Zugdidi-based civil society organization Association of Mothers of Disabled Women and Disabled Children "Dea” held the meeting with the students as part of the "Supporting the Participation of the Zugdidi Municipality Youth in the Local Self-Government” project.

The youth problems were discussed at the meeting. According to them, adequate education is still inaccessible for many due to the high fees and the lack of required books in the universities. In addition, the level of self-governments is low in the higher education institutions, there is no relevant infrastructure for the needs of persons with different abilities, and there are no student hostels. The Executive Director of Association "Dea” Madona Kharebava spoke about introducing the student loans in Georgia just like it works in numerous developed states, according to which the students will use the interest-free and long-term service. According to her, throughout the education process the universities must be guided by the modern technologies. Further, discussed at the meeting were the health and employment related problems, and the support of opportunities for the cultural and intellectual development.
