Abstract

Since 2024, the Georgian regime has been taking action against civil society. Now, it wants to rein in institutions of higher learning as well. Verbal attacks on academics who support protests against the government’s authoritarian course are being accompanied by plans for education reform. If the reform is implemented, the result will lead to the diminishment and provincialisation of the Georgian university landscape.
