Public Defender: Terms Rule of Issuing Scholarship by School Encourages a Discrimination
Tbilisi. Public Defender Terms Rule of Issuing Scholarship by School as Encouragement of Discrimination on grounds of Sex.
On February 6, 2018, the Public Defender of Georgia addressed Iakob Gogebashvili School Ltd with a general proposal to observe the principle of equality during announcement of a scholarship program and develop a special provision in order to define the criteria for selecting scholarship recipients and the rules of granting scholarship.
According to the Sapari NGO, Iakob Gogebashvili School appointed scholarships for the eighth-grader boys for the academic years of 2017-2018, though no eighth-grader girls have the same opportunity.
