This publication reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. Introduction Study of Quality Assurance services of seven Georgian universities was conducted in April – June 2010 in the frames of the project: “The Best and the Worst Practices of Quality Enhancement - Case of Georgia” that was supported by National Tempus Office of Georgia. Reform of higher education system started in 2005 in Georgia and respectively, quality assurance service has become 5 years old. Nowadays all public and the majority of private Higher Educational Institutions have established quality assurance departments. It is now interesting to look at what has been achieved and what is still missing in the activities of these services in Georgian universities. Methodology Case study method was used where combination of semi-structured interviews with study of relevant documentation of the sampled universities (retrieved from the websites) was utilized. Interviews were processed using content-analysis method. A sample of seven major research universities was studied. They were selected to keep the representation: public and private, and central (located in the capital of Georgia) and regional universities were studied, also, some of these are relatively small size universities and some are relatively large size universities.

  • Volume 39, Issue 3
    Volume 39, Issue 3 Value Added of Universities: Evidence From Georgia Zurab Abramishvili David Tsirekidze International School of Economics at TSU (ISET) Edgeworth Economics Abstract In this paper we propose a quantitative measure of the value added of Georgian universities and their programs, and create a ranking based on that measure. We find that there is a large variation in the rankings of individual programs within universities. At the university level, a comparison with the only available comprehensive ranking reveals that a value added-based ranking can produce very different results from existing popular rankings. The opinions expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of Edgeworth Economics or any other Edgeworth consultant. Nothing in this article should be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion, and readers should not act upon the information contained in this article without seeking the advice of legal counsel. Citation: Zurab Abramishvili and David Tsirekidze, (2019) ''Value Added of Universities: Evidence From Georgia'', Economics Bulletin, Volume 39, Issue 3, pages 2184-2191 Contact: Zurab Abramishvili - [email protected], David Tsirekidze - [email protected]. Submitted: February 17, 2019. Published: September 30, 2019. 1. Introduction For developing countries like Georgia, modernizing and improving the education system is of vital importance for long-term development. Fortunately, there are a number of university choices available to students when applying for undergraduate or graduate studies in Georgia. However, it is not always easy to find an objective measure that can be used to make thoughtful decisions about the relative performance of universities. Moreover, education policy makers in Georgia do not have universal, fair and objective sources upon which they can base decisions on how to distribute funding among public universities.
