The USAID/Georgia Primary Education Project (G-PriEd) is a 5-year (2011-2016) $8.7 million pilot project designed to provide comprehensive assistance to the primary education system to improve reading and math competencies of Georgian and ethnic minority students of grades 1-6 in over 100 schools. This project, implemented by Chemonics, is in line with the government's reforms to change the education system from a teacher-centered model to a student-centered model. In collaboration with the Georgian Ministry of Education and Science (MES), GPriEd aims to strengthen key components of the education system through teacher training, in-service professional development, and classroom diagnostic assessments, provision of instructional resources and greater accountability and transparency in schools as well as greater community and public engagement. GPriEd will work in approximately 100 schools in its pilot phase and approximately 200 schools in its expansion phase to introduce, assess, and finalize its interventions as they relate to improved reading and math outcomes for students in grades 1-6.
