Results of the country’s
National Examination were published by the Education Ministry today, so for the
26,000-plus first year students who passed exams and entered Georgian
universities, it is the news of the day.

development of your families and your country,” said President Margvelashvili.
The

wished success to all future students.
"You

higher the score gained, the more financial support will be offered by the
Government.

including the children of citizens who died fighting for the territorial
integrity of Georgia, students with disabilities or who come from families with
the lowest income.
