MONROVIA, Liberia – The Sherif Institute of Technology (SIT) Learning has officially launched its student registration process, positioning itself as a bold player in Liberia’s struggling education sector. The administration vowed to deliver innovative IT education and digital solutions tailored to individuals, businesses, and institutions—setting the stage for what it calls a transformative era in learning.
A Modern Space for a Modern Mission
At the launch ceremony, guests toured classrooms outfitted with air conditioning, high-speed internet, and rows of laptops designated for each student. The administration said the investment in infrastructure underscores SIT’s goal of bridging Liberia’s widening digital skills gap.
Sherry B. Jududoe, SIT’s Director for Academic Programs, stressed that “every student is entitled to a computer,” insisting that the institute is determined to overturn the “negative narratives” of Liberia’s education system.
“SIT Learning is here to make an immense contribution to a system that has left too many young people behind,” Jududoe said.
Cybersecurity at the Forefront
Human Resource Manager Ayouba Dukuly drew attention to the growing threats facing Liberia’s cyberspace, noting that the nation’s vulnerability makes tech literacy a necessity rather than a choice.
“We believe this will bridge the gap and provide a basic understanding of how we can protect our cyber space,” Dukuly said. “SIT Learning is not just an institution—it’s a catalyst for change and innovation. By merging technology with education, we empower individuals to unlock their potential, drive innovation, and make meaningful contributions to their communities and beyond.”
Training for a Digital Future
Dukuly outlined SIT’s mission to bridge Africa’s skills gap through accessible, high-quality, and technology-driven education. Courses include Computer and OS Fundamentals (Windows/Mac), Microsoft 365/Google Workspace Mastery, Internet Safety and Cybersecurity Basics, Cloud Collaboration Tools, and introductions to emerging AI platforms like ChatGPT and Copilot.
“Our mission is to prepare Africa’s workforce for global opportunities and drive innovation-led growth,” Dukuly added. “We want to position Africa as a global leader in education, technology, and innovation.”
Bridging the Divide, One Student at a Time
Founded three years ago, SIT Learning says its vision is to reshape education across the continent by embracing digital learning. Administrators argue that Liberia’s education crisis can only be reversed by institutions willing to “bridge the skills gap” and provide practical expertise to youth.
“At SIT Learning, we deliver innovative education and digital solutions for individuals, businesses, and institutions,” Dukuly said. “From IT courses to tailored training and digital tools, we empower growth, efficiency, and transformation. Join us to shape the future of learning and innovation.”
For SIT, the challenge is steep. Liberia’s education system remains plagued by underfunding and a lack of innovation. But the institute insists it has the tools to prove that technology-driven learning can be the bridge between lost opportunities and a more competitive future.
