Monrovia, Liberia-Liberia’s Education Minister, Professor Ansu Sonii has disclosed plans to improve the educational sector of the country.
Speaking in Monrovia Thursday, Professor Sonii said his administration will prioritize the licensing of all Teachers who will avail themselves for training to the Ministry of Education.
He noted that in the next two years as Education Minister, he will work to ensure that every school sitting WASSCE in the country has laboratory and library in order to help Liberian students to be excellent in the sub-region.
Minister Sonii who said the Liberian Educational sector is in trouble, stressed that his administration will work with the national legislature to establish an Academic Crimes Court.
He added that the Court will be used to prosecute individuals caught violating the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Education.
“We have identified more than ten issues of critical concern, but being in the classroom personally myself, there are two or three of those items. The greatest of them all is the inadequacy in supervision… then the academic administration is weak from the top to the District Education Officer (DEOs),” Prof. Sonii said.
Minister Sonii is at the same time calling on school authorities to work with the Ministry of Education so as to transform the educational sector of the country.
