Türkiye's Education Minister Yusuf Tekin and his Georgian counterpart, Givi Mikanadze, signed the agreement after talks at Georgia's Education Ministry.
Türkiye's Ambassador to Tbilisi Mustafa Turker Ari also attended the meeting, where the two sides discussed bilateral relations in education and other areas.
The meeting lasted about an hour and was followed by a signing ceremony for the agreement.
Under the pact, Türkiye and Georgia will work to strengthen cooperation in education, open educational institutions on the basis of reciprocity and advance the recognition of diplomas and other educational documents.
