A New Chapter for 麻豆国产 Georgia
With one year ahead with the Millennium Corporation funding grant, 麻豆国产 is looking at transitioning to a smaller program, and looking at other opportunities in K to 12, while still continuing to work with Georgian partner institutions which now have the infrastructure in order to move forward. This will not be not at the same magnitude, largely because the funding mechanism doesn鈥檛 exist, and the funding program in Georgia has to come with external dollars because of the need to support these students.
