It is noteworthy that in the facility N11, the rehabilitation programmes are carried out by the institution’s social services and non-governmental organisations. It should be mentioned that during the reporting period, majority of prisoners were involved in a numver of programmes. Besides, the juvenile inmates were also involved in other crafting courses.

According to Article 35 of the Constitution of Georgia “everyone shall have the right to education and the right to free choice of a form of education.” Article 7, Paragraph 4 of the Law of Georgia on General Education obliges the State to ‘provide general education in penitentiary institutions in compliance with the rules set out in the Imprisonment Code,’ while Article 14, para 1 sub-paragraph B of the Imprisonment Code enshrines that ‘an accused/convict shall have the right to receive general and vocational education’. According to Article 49 of the Order N118 of the Minister of Corrections of Georgia dated 27 August 2015, on Approving the Statute of the Rehabilitation Facility of Juveniles, the institution is obliged to create the conditions that will allow the convicts to receive general and vocational education. General education is provided in the facility according to the programme approved by the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia. The above should ensure the achievement of the goals set by the national educational plan. This educational program is not subject to the conditions and timetable of the national educational plan. There is a school at the Institution N11 affiliated with one of Tbilisi’s public schools. The school implements a sub-programme of general education for juveniles. The programme provides opportunities for juveniles to not only complete general education through equivalency examinations but also to obtain a certificate (attestat) after passing attestation examinations. The school is located in a separate building, which also has a library and working rooms for the social workers. The educational programme covers the grades from 8 to 12 and accordingly, inmates who are in the 7th or the lower grade cannot fully engage in the educational process. 205 Recommendation (2008) 11 of the Committee of Ministers to the Member States of the European Rule for Juvenile Offenders Subject to Sanctions or Measures, Article 77.
