Expert legal assistance includes ensuring full compliance for schools and universities throughout the authorization and accreditation process.
Managing the legal framework for establishing and operating an educational institution in Georgia requires a deep understanding of legislation and meticulous attention to detail. Legal Sandbox Georgia offers comprehensive legal services to ensure your institution successfully navigates every stage of authorization and accreditation. Our expert team ensures that your school or university fully complies with the laws "On Higher Education" and "On General Education," as well as subordinate normative acts, orders, and all relevant rules and regulations. We transform a difficult regulatory process into a clear, straightforward, and successful procedure for you, so that your institution is built on a solid legal foundation.
The process of gaining state recognition begins with authorization, which grants an institution the right to conduct educational activities and issue state-recognized diplomas. This mandatory stage involves a thorough assessment of your institution's material, human, and financial resources against established standards. Our legal team will provide indispensable assistance in presenting a complete plan for the authorization process, preparing the necessary documentation for the application, developing internal regulatory acts, and ensuring smooth operational processes. We manage communication with the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement and represent your interests to ensure the assessment process is conducted smoothly and efficiently.
Following authorization, accreditation is the crucial process of evaluating and confirming that your educational programs comply with state quality standards. This prestigious status is a key indicator of academic excellence and is vital for the institution's reputation, international recognition, and student recruitment. Without undergoing the accreditation process, a higher education institution will not have the right to implement its programs. Our lawyers will assist you in presenting a plan for preparing self-assessment reports and in strategically preparing for the accreditation experts' visit.
In case of challenges with regulatory bodies, including the refusal of authorization or accreditation, or disputes with the Ministry of Education and other agencies, our firm provides robust legal representation. We have extensive experience in managing administrative appeals and, if necessary, defending your institution's rights in court. Our goal is to protect your investment by resolving disputes effectively.
