Opportunity Summary:
The Civic and Tech through English Language (CTEL) opportunity is a U.S. Embassy Tbilisi Public Affairs Section (PAS) grant competition focused on strengthening English proficiency and modern teaching practices in Georgia's public schools, specifically in the Adjara and Kakheti regions. The program centers on providing English language training for two key groups of teachers, Civic Education teachers and Internet and Computer Technologies (ICT) teachers, with the broader goal of helping them use English more confidently and effectively in professional settings and classroom instruction. Beyond improving language skills alone, CTEL is designed to encourage integrated, cross-disciplinary teaching that connects English language learning with Civic Education content and ICT skills, so that students experience these areas as reinforcing and practical rather than separate subjects.
Eligible applicants include U.S. and Georgian non-profit/non-governmental organizations as well as educational institutions capable of administering a structured training program for educators. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the U.S. government expects an active partnership role during implementation rather than a purely hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and is listed under CFDA 19.900, reflecting a public diplomacy-related assistance framework.
Financially, the opportunity provides for a single expected award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of up to $500,000. Only one award was anticipated, which suggests the Embassy intended to select one lead organization to manage the full program scope, including planning, delivery, and coordination across the targeted regions. The competition timeline shows the opportunity was posted on April 7, 2016, created the same day, and closed on May 27, 2016.
In practical terms, CTEL is about building teacher capacity at the intersection of language, civics, and technology. By raising English proficiency among Civic Education and ICT teachers and promoting integrated instruction across English, civic learning, and digital skills, the program aims to support more engaging, globally connected, and skills-oriented education in the participating schools in Adjara and Kakheti.
