The National Center for Education Quality Enhancement (NCEQE), an agency at the Georgian Ministry of Education suspended the authorization of Shota Rustaveli School-Lyceum in the city of Rustavi, operated by the Chaglar Educational Institutions, a Gülen-affiliated network in Georgia, EDNews.net reports citing Civil.ge.
Rustavi School-Lyceum is the third Gülen-affiliated educational institution to have been shut by the Georgian Ministry of Education. In 2017, the NCEQE authorization council decided to close down the Private Demirel College in Tbilisi and Batumi-based Refaiddin Şahin Friendship School.
