State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Of 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. The University of Liberia has made definite plans for the establishment of graduate programs in education, although low salaries, minimal training, and high turnover rate of the faculty is a major weakness in this design. Cuttington University College offers a viable alternative to government institu­ tions of higher education in West Africa, but the small size, minimal training, and high turnover rate of the faculty creates a definite problem. The Rural Teacher Training Institutes have solved the conflicts in trying to accomplish simultaneously both preservice and in-service teacher training and secondary education and teacher training, but have not yet successfully resolved the problem of trying to provide both rural community education and teacher training. Much, also, remains to be done to increase the number of fully prepared teachers in Liberia. The study concluded with some recommendations for improving the programs of teacher education in Liberia.

  • 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.

  • Promoting Institutional and Scholarly Capacity for ECD in Sub-Saharan Africa
    Promoting Institutional and Scholarly Capacity for ECD in Sub-Saharan Africa This report provides background to and results from the Early Childhood Development African Tertiary Survey: A partnership between the Association for the Development of Education in Africa- Working Group on Early Childhood Development (ADEA-WGECD), UNESCO/BREDA and the University of Victoria (UVic), Early Childhood Development Virtual University (ECDVU). Final Activity Report A. Description and Background The impetus for this project grew out of a convergence of interests and undertakings by various organizations regarding the further development of Early Childhood Education, Care and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa. One facet for accomplishing this objective is to increase both the capacity of tertiary institutions to play key innovative and supportive roles in the evolution of integrated Early Childhood Development (ECD) in their country, and the ability of individual scholars to expand Africa’s contributions to the international ECD and child development literature while enhancing country and regional research. It was critical, therefore, to determine the existing institutional ECD programmes and capacities and to identify key institutions and scholars that could move this agenda forward. In early 2009 discussions between Dr. Aster Haregot of UNICEF’s Eastern and Southern Africa Region (ESAR) and Dr. Alan Pence (UVic-ECDVU) resulted in a collaboration that produced a survey which asked respondents to identify undergraduate and graduate programmes in Early Childhood Education, Care and Development (ECD/ECCD/ECE) within tertiary institutions in their country, as well as scholars with an interest and expertise in the field. The survey was sent to 29 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (including 7 countries in the Western and Central Africa Region (WCAR) that had participated in the ECDVU programme).
