Simon Janashia: Should only one person apply for a vacancy? That's nonsense - also, when Kobakhidze says lawyers can't find jobs in their profession, is he employed in his own profession and performing lawyers' functions, or is he working in some other job?

When Irakli Kobakhidze says that lawyers can't find jobs in their profession, is he employed in his own profession and performing lawyers' functions, or is he working in some other job? - this was stated by Simon Janashia, a member of "Freedom Square," regarding the education reform.

According to him, the goal of the education reform is to have fewer educated people in the country.

"The numbers that Irakli Kobakhidze named only concern state universities, but what are they doing to private universities - are they abolishing them altogether, or do private universities not matter to the market in terms of how many people they qualify? The employment market is broader than what they researched. What they call a 'study' [labor market research] has no connection whatsoever to the decisions made. How logical is it when they reduce quotas in the very directions where there is a need for specialties?

All of this will become problematic for the market. The logic that this reform implies is that the number of vacancies and employable persons should be equal. That's nonsense - should only one person apply for a vacancy?

Higher education gives the country the opportunity to develop such strategic directions where employment is not the important thing, but rather the upbringing of citizens.

When Irakli Kobakhidze says that lawyers can't find jobs in their profession, is he employed in his own profession and performing lawyers' functions, or is he working in some other job?" - stated Simon Janashia.
