| “We should launch a linguistic and computer revolution in our country so that we can catch up with the rest of the world, something which is a real challenge. Some may think that the upcoming elections [May 30] are the priority nowadays but I will firmly stress that they are wrong. Elections come and go, they are temporary phenomena, but the most important thing is what we create for our future generations,” Mikheil Saakashvili, President of Georgia, said at the Government session in Kutaisi on April 6 where he told his colleagues that the English language will be taught in the first grade of schools and each first-grade pupil will be given an XO mini-laptop, a potent learning tool produced by the US non-profit organisation One Laptop Per Child, from the next school year in September 2010. |
