Rivercess County — The Government of Liberia is expected to deploy 15 bachelor’s degree holders to Rivercess County in September to help address the shortage of qualified teachers across the county.
The disclosure was made by newly inducted Rivercess County Education Officer, Dailay David Konway, Sr., who said the teachers will be assigned to various public high schools.
Mr. Konway said the deployment has been authorized by the Ministry of Education as part of efforts to strengthen the county’s education sector.
He said his administration will prioritize recruiting qualified teachers, improving school infrastructure and strengthening teachers’ capacity to enhance the quality of education.
According to him, the Ministry of Education is also expected to construct new facilities for the G. Flamah Sherman Early Childhood Education School in Cestos City and the Dunn Town Public School in Dunn Town.
Meanwhile, Rivercess County Superintendent Byron W. Zahnwea has criticized some government employees for allegedly violating workplace policies, including lateness, extended lunch breaks, poor reporting and lack of work plans.
Superintendent Zahnwea urged the newly inducted Education Officer to remain professional and ensure that friendship, family ties or other personal relationships do not influence his official duties.
He made the remarks Saturday in Cestos City during Konway’s induction ceremony.
