Despite strong growth, the private general education system in Georgia is still fragmented. Only 11 private schools have more than 1,000 enrollments, collectively accounting for 21.0% of the market as of 2022-23 (15.2% in 2019/20), while 62.3% of private schools have up to 250 pupils (mostly in regions of Georgia).
According to Galt&Taggart, private sector revenue was up 12.7% CAGR over 2010-22, driven by both increased enrolments and rising tuition fees. However, growth decelerated over 2021-22, driven by the outflow of pupils to public institutions during pandemic.
Private school annual tuition fees range between GEL 1,000-20,000, with majority (36.9%) of surveyed schools charging GEL 2,500-5,000 annual
fee.
