I joined the educational field in 2019, and it was a very difficult and responsible decision for me. The position I hold today is the most important stage in my career, as it is a great challenge to be the rector of an institution whose rapid development and establishing a distinctive place in a competitive environment are your main priorities.
The constant ambition of why students should choose the “NEU National Educational University” is my only concern as a rector, because a student is the future of the country, therefore he should have the opportunity to be competitive, self-realized, employed, be “marketable”, and his mental abilities should be usable, both in the local and international markets.
Thus, my team and I are creating a modern learning environment by introducing innovative methods and ensuring that we prepare competitive, highly qualified and socially conscious generations for the labor market in the changing digital era. We have the potential and are constantly maintaining a culture of quality, creating a unique educational experience, implementing and creating educational programs that match the education market, and constantly taking care of improving the qualifications of the university's academic staff, which is a guarantee of high qualifications of students in the future.
Since 2019, we have turned a number of crises into opportunities, managed to manage challenges, achieved positioning in relation to competitors, made our worthy contribution to such highly intellectual activity and took effective steps towards our ultimate goal, which is called integration into the European space.
My mission is to create an environment at “NEU National Educational University” that will always be attractive to students. I want to make their main value the aspiration for a successful future of Georgia. This is expressed in the empowerment of individuals and, most importantly, in promoting unity through education. Also, my main mission is “Unity and Knowledge”, which reflects a deep cultural and social responsibility to use education for unification and harmonious integration of the value system of multicultural relations.
Because education is transformative when it is oriented towards the formation of individuals as ethical leaders in a constantly changing world.
The ultimate goal of “NEU National Educational University” and my team is to be a distinguished university not only in Georgia but also in the international arena, to become worthy representatives of the European community, and we will do everything for this goal.
