Abkhazia Institute for Social and Economic Research

Knowledge society will be a society producing products and services that are rich in both explicit and tacit knowledge, thus creating value added products. The real capital of this knowledge society will be its knowledge components. The society will be highly networked to create a knowledge intensive environment along with the enabling process to efficiently create, share, use and protect knowledge. Georgian education system should re-align itself at the earliest to meet the needs of present day challenges and be fully geared to participate in societal transformation through innovation, which is the key to competitiveness. It should also develop a global outlook. Georgia has many strengths. It has to reach out and make our individuals and institution capable of succeeding in a competitive world.
Together with Mr. Irakli Gagua, we decided to share our knowledge and experience in United States with Georgian people to help create knowledge society in our homeland, Abkhazia. We hope that Georgian Government or Educational Department will recognize our contribution.
I would like to share some thoughts on how University and college education can lead to the creation of a Knowledge Society. Time to time I will select new topics, to show about educational requirements and some tips in educational process in advanced highly demanded medical specialties in US. Hence the topic I have selected is "Pharmacy Assistant/Technician".
