Liberia in a Nutshell

There are a lot of websites out there that deal with Liberia. One that is very brief can be seen here. Since some of my students may be following my trip I will not post sites that deal with the wars and other troubles that Liberia has endured. The state of education in Liberia is poor but improving. The president is a huge advocate of education but does not have the necessary funds to completely overhaul the system. Most of the qualified teachers left the country during the times of strife never to return. There are many in Liberia who want to be teachers but they lack the basic training. That is where Compassion Corps comes in.
