MoE AND PARTNERS REVIEW TEACHER WORKFORCE AND SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE UNDER ESP MID-TERM REVIEW

How do we ensure that every school has qualified teachers and a safe, supportive environment for learning?

This question guided Day Two of the Ministry of Education’s Partnership Compact and Education Sector Plan (ESP) Mid-Term Review, held on November 3, 2026, at the Ministerial Complex in Congo Town.

Discussions examined teacher recruitment, payroll regularization, equitable deployment, professional development, licensing, and retention, particularly in underserved communities. Participants also considered school infrastructure needs, climate-resilient classrooms, water and sanitation facilities, and improved learning environments.

Special attention was given to increasing the number of female teachers, strengthening school leadership, and ensuring that learners with disabilities and other special educational needs are adequately supported.

Minister of Education Dr. Jarso Maley Jallah thanked development partners and the Ministry’s technical teams for their continued engagement in the review.

The findings will help inform adjustments to Liberia’s 2027–2029 education priorities and investment strategy, ensuring that decisions on teacher development and school infrastructure respond to evidence and the realities facing schools.
