Thanks for the information. It's good that this year they plan to go to the regional stage and to interact with schools - in Kutaisi, most of the work is in this direction. Of course, certification is also important for Sunday schools to be in order.

Well said, Maya, the relationship with schools is really the most painful topic for us in Kutaisi as well. It was the same with my son—the teachers often didn't know how to incorporate God's stories into the lessons. You are right about the attestation, it needs order.

Maya, that's right - the regional stage and the connection with the schools require the most work. We have the same picture in Batumi, especially in the new school year. It's good that they plan for the certification, because the quality of my daughter's Sunday school lessons depends on it.
