On July 9, the Caucasus School of Education, in partnership with the 105th public school of Tbilisi, hosted the second discussion round on "Citizenship Competence and Student's Prospects in the Labor Market" as part of the elementary pedagogy program.

 

This event was held within the framework of the project "Key Competences of Learning and Student Prospects in the Labor Market - 2024," which aims to effectively integrate key lifelong learning competencies into teacher training programs.

 

The meeting was organized using the Harkness method, featuring parallel discussions with participants including employers, educators, administration representatives, parents, students, and elementary pedagogy students from Caucasus University.
