TLG Programme

Georgia, with its rich history and ancient roots, stands as one of the world’s oldest countries. Throughout the centuries, this resilient nation has endured the pressures of powerful neighboring empires while striving to maintain its unique identity. Overcoming these formidable challenges, Georgia has emerged with a renewed commitment to European culture and values. Geographically, it finds itself at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, nestled between the Black Sea, Turkey, and Russia.

Teach and Learn with Georgia (TLG) is an esteemed initiative led by the Georgian government and administered under the Georgian Ministry of Education and Science. The program’s primary objective is to enhance Georgia’s overall proficiency in foreign languages by recruiting English teachers to collaborate with local educators in public schools across this beautiful and historically significant country.
