New Academic Year at TSU
An event marking the launch of the 2015-2016 Academic Year was held at the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) on September 14. As a result of the Unified National Exams in 2015, about 3600 students were enrolled in TSU with 2765 first-semester students (80%) receiving state grants.
TSU Rector, Academician Vladimer Papava, Minister of Education and Science Tamar Sanikidze, Tbilisi Mayor Davit Narmania, representatives of academic circles congratulated students on the beginning of the new academic year.
“Today we are beginning the new 2015-2016 academic year. About 4000 new students have joined our university. I congratulate the first-year students on the beginning of a new stage in their life and wish them success and interesting university life,” TSU Rector, Academician Vladimer Papava said.
“Over the past years I traditionally come to my native university to congratulate students on the beginning of the new academic year. This day is especially important for the first-year students, as they started a new stage in their life. Their future will largely depend on how much they will manage to get qualification, knowledge and education at the university. I am sure that each of them will be successful,” Tbilisi Mayor Davit Narmania said.
Minister of Education and Science of Georgia, Tamar Sanikidze said: “The new academic year starts today and I would like to take this opportunity and congratulate our school children, students, teachers, lecturers and administration on the new academic year and wish them to use the opportunity provided by the state. It is the beginning of their successful life and development.”

“It is a huge incentive for me to receive the Rector’s scholarship and I am very grateful to Rector Papava. It will encourage me to take further successful steps,” Venera Tsertsvadze said.
