The Bologna Process and Georgian Higher Education: Advances in Academic Social Responsibility
European Education, v56 n1 p1-17 2024
This article examines Georgia's integration into the Bologna Process, focusing on academic social responsibility (ASR). Utilizing qualitative methods, including document analysis and 30 in-depth interviews, the study assesses the evolution of higher education, alignment with Bologna standards, and external quality assurance. Findings reveal postintegration improvements, including university closures, fairer examinations, and modernized literature. Challenges include European standard implementation and perceived academic freedom encroachments. Overall, the Bologna Process positively influences Georgia's education system, fostering organizational improvements and successful assimilation within the broader European educational context.
