Georgia, Tbilisi, August 27 / Trend N. Kirtskhalia /
Georgia will join those European countries that admit importance of sport constitutionally. At present, sport is indicated in nine constitutions of European countries.
Sport will be indicated during the work on a new constitution of Georgia. This issue was discussed at the scientific-colsultative council of sport development, acting under the Committee of Sports and Youth Affairs.
The Council has also decided to initiate proceedings due to a new law "Physical education and sport". Chairman of the Council's board, Vazha Shubladze, current law is so outdated, that does not meet modern requirements. Many terms have lost their significance.
Members of the council consider that introduction of new definitions of physical education, as well as determination of its place and role as special advantage of the new bill.
Shubladze said that the central figure in any sport, a coach, is not mentioned in the old law. "For the first time, the profession of a coach is defined as a teacher in the bill on the legislative level," he said.
Chairman of the committee, Giorgi Asanidze, said that work over the bill will be launched in September.
