The goal of the ELCE Program (English Language Through Civics Education) is to improve English-language teaching and learning in school in the Republic of Georgia.  These efforts support Euro-Atlantic integration, promote Western democratic values, improve students' capacity for higher and continuing education, and increase marketable job skills among Georgian youth. Georgetown partners with Project Harmony International by providing technical assistance in the area of English language instruction and supports the English language teachers in the field.  The project is funded by the State Department.
