The financial -- Two weeks ago I was in the United Kingdom talking to some senior
academics in a reputed university on building Georgia as a regional
centre for higher education. I argued that Georgia is a jewel in the
Caucuses crown and it had all the potential of becoming a centre of
excellence in providing world class education not only to Georgians but
also to other countries in the region. I told them that this is indeed
the time to move into Georgia. A very senior academic in charge of
international partnerships however raised an important question. She
asked “Is Georgia a safe country to operate in?”.
