The Parliamentary Chairman talked to 2nd grade students about the importance of literacy and read Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales to them. He answered the children’s queries afterwards and presented them the books. Bakradze stated that the action is symbolic and it aims at stimulating reading amongst children.
“It is very significant in our times that children are computer-literate and get information on the Internet, but a book reading culture mustn’t be rejected. That’s why I agreed with the Education Ministry initiative to show children the importance of printed production”, Bakradze said.
The MES Minister Shashkin told journalists that the main goal of the action is to ensure that children make friends with books. “While facing world globalization, it is very important that a book stays the main ally for children. Leaders and politicians should read them books that they themselves used to read in their childhood”, the Minister added.
The Project presentation was held in public school #1 in November. According to the concept, writers, opinion leaders and other volunteers read literature pieces to students before having follow-up discussions.
