The Georgian Chess Federation launched the project Chess in schools in 2015. OnĀ Ā September 23rd, 2015 the memorandum of cooperation was signed by the Georgian Chess Federation and the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia.

Three hundred schools from five regions of Georgia ere selected within the framework of the pilot project. Teachers were trained, certificates issued, and classes began in second and third grades. After the first pilot, the project was to cover all the regions of Georgia.

TheĀ TVĀ studioĀ ofĀ theĀ GeorgianĀ ChessĀ FederationĀ hasĀ recordedĀ theĀ lessonsĀ whichĀ areĀ veryĀ popularĀ andĀ areĀ successfullyĀ airedĀ onĀ publicĀ broadcasting.

lnĀ theĀ schoolsĀ ofĀ Georgia,Ā chessĀ isĀ anĀ electiveĀ subject.Ā SchoolsĀ decideĀ themselvesĀ whichĀ additionalĀ subjectĀ toĀ select,Ā whichĀ createsĀ anĀ unstableĀ environmentĀ forĀ teachers.

WeĀ areĀ interestedĀ inĀ otherĀ countries’Ā experiencesĀ regardingĀ thisĀ matter.Ā AsĀ farĀ asĀ weĀ know,Ā inĀ manyĀ countriesĀ chessĀ isĀ anĀ obligatoryĀ subject.
