| Abstract: | Higher education (hereafter as: HE) in Georgia was dramatically influenced by the former Soviet system changes. This article aims to analyse implications of the post-Soviet transition for Georgian skill formation (here as: s-f.) and skill utilisation (as: s-u.) system, dealing particularly with recent trends in Georgian HE incl. privatisation and economic liberalisation. It is argued that increasing competition among public universities and newly emerged private universities has not improved the quality of HE provision. On the contrary, it has produced an imbalance btw. the labour market's demand for skills and qualifications. It is demonstrated that economic approaches in the transition context could not explain the complex logic btw. the s-f. and s-u. mechanisms. |
