Back to EpisodesGeorgia Students Protest University Cuts, Democracy Backslide
Description
In Tbilisi, Georgia, students like Luka Mishveladze are leading protests against government higher education reforms that could shut down their universities. The changes, part of a larger shift away from the West towards Russia, have sparked outrage among students and staff, who see it as an attack on free thinking and European ties. Illia State University faces over 90% program cuts, leading to a significant drop in undergraduate spots. Despite a planned university merger being scrapped, protesters vow to continue until Georgian Dream is out of power.
