"Ai Ia" - 150 years since the creation of "Deda Ena": times, eras, generations and teaching methods have changed, but it still remains the foremost book for Georgians

"Only the mother tongue is the language of the soul and heart, all foreign languages are languages of memory… Only in the mother tongue can a person pray sincerely…" – Iakob Gogebashvili relied on this idea when, in 1876, he created one of the most important textbooks in the history of Georgian education. 150 years have passed since then. Times, eras, generations and teaching methods have changed, but "Deda Ena" still remains the foremost book for Georgians.
