The Ministry of Education of the Republic of Liberia has announced plans to formalize a new partnership with the Republic of Uzbekistan aimed at strengthening cooperation in education and innovation.
The initiative follows a productive bilateral meeting held on the sidelines of the UNESCO General Conference in Samarkand between Liberia’s Minister of Education, Hon. Dr. Jarso Maley Jallah, and Uzbekistan’s Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovations, Hon. Kongratbay Sharipov.
According to the Ministry of Education, discussions centered on several key areas of collaboration, including student and teacher exchanges, scholarship opportunities for Liberian students to pursue higher education and technical training in Uzbekistan, youth entrepreneurship programs, and the promotion of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education.
The proposed partnership is expected to open new academic and professional pathways for Liberian youth while fostering knowledge exchange between the two nations.
“This partnership reflects Liberia’s ongoing commitment to expanding international cooperation in education, fostering innovation, and creating new global learning opportunities for Liberian youth,” the ministry stated.
Officials say formal agreements are expected to be finalized in the coming months as both countries work to translate the discussions into concrete programs and initiatives.
