The state’s approach to smaller schools is commendable, because those are not just educational institutions, but also rural cultural and educational hubs, Georgian Prime Minister said at the new school of the village of Khabume, Chkhorotsku Municipality.

Irakli Garibashvili familiarized himself with the school’s facilities and acknowledged his visit in the guestbook.

For his visit to the school, he was accompanied by Parliament Speaker Kakha Kuchava, Minister of Education and Science Mikheil Chkhenkeli, and Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure Irakli Karseladze.

According to Chkhenkeli, the Khabume community’s public school is meeting the new academic year in September 2021 with a new building complying with modern standards.

The new building of the Khabume community’s public school #3 can accommodate 60 students. The building incorporates 8 classrooms, a laboratory, a library, a computer lab, a cafeteria, a doctor’s office, a staffroom, and restrooms. The school boasts new equipment and is fully adapted to meet the needs of persons with limited abilities.

The school also features a modern-standard outdoor stadium. A section of the outdoor territory is paved with asphalt. The outdoor territory is surrounded by a metal fence with a concrete base. The project’s value is GEL 1,214,000.

The school provides elementary and basic levels of education. Presently, the school has 45 students, though it is planned to increase this number to 80.

The public school #3 in Khabume was built in 1916, on the foundation of a monument of historical importance. It was the first Georgian-language school in Ozurgeti District.
