Tolle, USAID/Monrovia Adele Douglass, Librarian and Executive Secretary INTRODUCTION The Liberia Education and Training Sector Assessment provides an overview of the systems for developing the nation's human resources. The study includes not only the formal schooling system of primary, secondary, and higher education, but also nonformal or out-of-school systems. These latter seek to address vocationsd and technical training needs, health and agriculture education, basic education for adults, and management training. It is important to note that this review of education and training is a systematic assessment of conditions and constraints rather than an analysis of selected problems. Analyses on such topics as the rela­ tionship among education delivery approaches and cost and quality will be ongoing and require much additional effort. In the meantime, the assessment serves to identify critical issues for further study while providing an immediately usable base for planning initiatives to improve education and training at thevarious levels. The study was conducted principally during October and November of 1982. This means that data were, in some cases, estimates for the year. It also means that the significance of more recent goverment measures--for example, reduction of public salaries and curtailment of pre­ primary education--has not yet been assessed and will have to be incorporatcd into subsequent studies. Perhaps of greatest note, this assessment represents a genuinely cooperative effort by the Ministry of Planning and.Economic Affairs together with all the Ministries engaged in education and training. Assisting the effort has been a team of consultants provided by the Agency for International Development through the contracted services of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Graduate School. In any such cooperative endeavor, consensus must lie chiefly in the overarching themes and the basic conclusions which are drawn. Members of the Joint Committee obviously differed on some particular points but believe that the study accurately assesses the situation of Liberia's education and training systems. If this assessment provokes rited debate leading not only to better understanding of the education and training subsectors but also to effective implementation of the recommendations agreed upon, it will serve the purpose for which it was prepared. Note: The portions of this assessment which refer to the University of Liberia have not been agreed upon or accepted by University of Liberia officials.

  • Adult Authority, Social Conflict, and Youth Survival Strategies in Post Civil War Liberia
    ‘Listen, Politics is not for Children:’ Adult Authority, Social Conflict, and Youth Survival Strategies in Post Civil War Liberia. DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Henryatta Louise Ballah Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Drs. Ousman Kobo, Advisor Antoinette Errante Ahmad Sikianga i Copyright by Henryatta Louise Ballah 2012 ii Abstract This dissertation explores the historical causes of the Liberian civil war (1989- 2003), with a keen attention to the history of Liberian youth, since the beginning of the Republic in 1847. I carefully analyzed youth engagements in social and political change throughout the country’s history, including the ways by which the civil war impacted the youth and inspired them to create new social and economic spaces for themselves. As will be demonstrated in various chapters, despite their marginalization by the state, the youth have played a crucial role in the quest for democratization in the country, especially since the 1960s. I place my analysis of the youth in deep societal structures related to Liberia’s colonial past and neo-colonial status, as well as the impact of external factors, such as the financial and military support the regime of Samuel Doe received from the United States during the cold war and the influence of other African nations. I emphasize that the socio-economic and political policies implemented by the Americo- Liberians (freed slaves from the U.S.) who settled in the country beginning in 1822, helped lay the foundation for the civil war.

Macpherson David 2 1. School of Psychology, Central China Normal University, 152 Luoyu Street, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, 430079, P. R. China 2. College of Environment, Hohai University, 1-Xikang Road, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, P. R. China * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This paper highlights and discusses the need for aligning expansion and quality of higher education in Liberia. It emphasizes that such initiative is inevitable to the sustainable economic growth and sociopolitical development of the country. Because with better education, Liberia as a country is sure to achieve political stability, create wealth and sustain growth. Honestly speaking, the existence of higher education institutions will make little or no impact on the nation’s national development agenda in the absence of quality as the ability to undertake initiatives and be innovative largely depends on the quality of knowledge acquired. Like other countries, this paper notes that Liberia’s higher education subsector continues to expand in various ways, intended to satisfy the access demand by the growing population. Consequently, there has been a tremendous increase from 3 to 30 tertiary institutions in the country. Capitalizing on Functionalist theorists’ view on HE expansion that universities can go a long way towards solving societal problems through development and use of new knowledge, this paper acquiesces, but underscores that ensuring quality is very vital in the fulfillment of HE purposes.

    I I M>, TEACHER EDUCATION IN LIBERIA Charles Arthur Mehaffey A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY March 1980 © 1980 Charles Arthur Mehaffey All Rights Reserved. il ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to make a historical, descrip­ tive, and analytical examination of institutions concerned with teacher education in Liberia. After looking at the Liberian national and educational background, an examination of the status of Liberian teachers was made. The main focus of this study was to examine the role that the W. V. S. Tubman Teachers College of the University of Liberia, Cuttington University College, and the Rural Teacher Training Institutes at Kakata and Zorzor have played, are playing, and will play in dealing with the problems and progress associated with teacher education in Liberia. A review of the Liberian national and educational background and the status of Liberian teachers revealed the need for improving the teacher education programs in Liberia. Both the quantity and preparation of the teachers in Liberia need to be improved to meet the nationally established goals. With the increase in population and demands for educational services, the future problems and frustrations facing these teacher education institutions also seem likely to increase. These four institutions primarily responsible for teacher education in Liberia, the W. V. S. Tubman Teachers Ill College of the University of Liberia, the Education Division of Cuttington University College, and the Rural Teacher Training Institutes at Zorzor and Kakata, have shown much progress in teacher education since 1947.

I would like to thank Vanderbilt University, the Albert Gordon Foundation, the Rotary International, and the Andrew Mellon Foundation for all of their support that facilitated the research and work necessary to complete this project. My appreciation also goes to my supervisor, Professor Richard Blackett for the time he spent in directing, guiding, reading, editing my work.
