Education Law is one of the fastest-developing and complex legal fields in Georgia. It regulates relationships between educational institutions (schools, universities, vocational colleges), the state, students, and teachers. Strict standards set by the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement, complex authorization-accreditation procedures, and constantly changing regulations require specialized legal knowledge. Our service helps both educational businesses (private schools and universities) ensure legal operation and students/parents protect their rights. Legal.ge offers lawyers familiar with Ministry of Education internal regulations, funding models, and the specifics of educational disputes.
What Does Education Law Service Cover?
This service is multifaceted and covers all links of the education system. It includes:
- Authorization and Accreditation: Assisting institutions in meeting standards, preparing self-evaluation reports, and representing them at council meetings.
- Student Rights: Disputes with universities over status suspension, mobility restrictions, or unfair grading.
- Labor Relations in Education: Drafting contracts with teachers and admin staff, regulating hourly loads and leaves.
- Disciplinary Proceedings: Legal management of disciplinary actions against students or teachers.
- Inclusive Education: Protecting rights of persons with special educational needs and defining school obligations.
Real-World Scenarios Where You Need This Service
For example, a private school's authorization was suspended due to infrastructure defects, threatening the education of 500 students. A lawyer will help appeal the decision and present a remediation plan. Another example: a student's foreign credits were not recognized, and a diploma was refused. A lawyer will apply to the Quality Center or court for recognition. Disputes over student expulsion for violating internal regulations are also common, where adherence to procedural norms is crucial.
Georgian Legal Framework
Education law is based on the Laws on "General Education," "Higher Education," and "Vocational Education." Authorization/accreditation is regulated by Ministry orders. For student rights, the "Administrative Procedure Code" is key, as public schools and universities are treated as administrative bodies.
The Process Step-by-Step
1. Consultation: Legal assessment of the problem. 2. Documentation: Drafting internal acts or appeals. 3. Administrative Proceedings: Dealing with the Ministry or Quality Center. 4. Court: Appealing administrative acts (e.g., accreditation refusal).
