I believe that this camp will help promote the right values among the youth. Such a statement the Prime Minister of Georgia made at the opening of a new project – “Army Camp”.

“The importance of the army and, in general, the its role in the development of our society is very great. I believe that it is necessary to involve our young people from the school stage, and not only that, we should also include the relevant education in kindergartens. We must provide more information to raise awareness among young people.

Let them understand how the army is run. They will have a unique chance to learn about military activities, to participate. This will help increase interest in the army. They will personally meet our heroic soldiers, who will tell them about the heroic deeds of our army, not only the heroic deeds committed in the past, but also in the present.

Apart from this, I believe that this camp will help promote the right values among the youth. In today’s world, and naturally Georgia is a part of this globalization, there are many temptations for our young people, therefore, young people need to determine the right orientation from the beginning. In this process, the role of our state is very important. First the family and then the state. Since you spend a lot of time in school, the role and involvement of the Ministry of Education is very important.

Besides, I believe that promotion of a healthy lifestyle, promotion of correct values, family values should start from kindergartens and schools. We have introduced military education “Defense and Security” in schools, which I believe is a very correct decision. I know from many students that interest is growing. We have to step by step introduce this element in all schools, it is necessary to introduce this element in kindergartens as well.

It is important that we raise the patriotic spirit in our youth. More information is needed. We must show the difference to our young people. I believe that in general, not only the role of the family, but also the role of the Ministry of Education, the army, and the church in raising you and determining the right orientations, is very important”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
