EPPM COMMITMENT IN EDUCATION
The International Institute for Education Policy, Planning and Management (EPPM) is a leading nongovernmental organization in the region operating in education sector. EPPM was established in 2002 by the pool of education policy experts and researchers out of the pressing need for genuine democratic education reforms. It is the first independent policy institute to focus primarily on education policies developed and implemented in Georgia. EPPM seeks to improve education through research, policy analysis, and the development of responsible alternatives to existing policies and practices.
EPPM is an organization for democratic changes in education, committed to solving existing problems through public dialogue and civic participation in important issues facing the educational system. Its goal is to serve as a resource for the public and legislators, education stakeholders, including high education and VET institution’s personal, school boards and administrators, parents and students as they work to shape the education system according to the principles and values of a democratic and open society.
