Liberia Training and Volunteers Network
No child should face barriers to education.
Why the Liberia Training and Volunteers Network?
The Liberian Education System faces numerous challenges including:
Many schools were destroyed or damaged during the civil wars. Rebuilding and maintaining school infrastructure is a significant challenge.
There is a shortage of well-trained teachers. Many teachers lack proper qualifications and ongoing professional development.
The curriculum often does not meet international standards and may not be relevant to the current job market and societal needs
Rural Liberia has fewer schools, and those that exist often lack basic facilities.
Girls face greater obstacles to education, including early marriage, teenage pregnancy, and cultural biases.
Many families cannot afford school fees, uniforms, and supplies, which limits access to education.
The education sector is underfunded, with insufficient investment in schools, teachers, and learning materials.
Mismanagement and corruption within the education sector can divert resources from where they are needed most.
Even when policies are well-designed, they are often poorly implemented due to a lack of capacity and resources.
Limited access to technology and the internet hinders modern teaching methods and access to educational resources.
Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive strategies, increased investment, and coordinated efforts from the government, local communities, and citizens.
