Project description
Liberia is still recovering from 14 years of civil crisis which devastated the county’s social and economic fabrics. The education sector was seriously impacted. As the country gradually rebuilds, the need for qualified professionals in the education sector with skills in early grade reading cannot be over-emphasized.
It is against this backdrop that the Ministry of Education is requesting Peace Corps Response Volunteers (PCRVs) with the requisite qualifications in basic literacy for the early grades. The Ministry has, in the past, utilized the services of PCRVs and would appreciate more assistance in strengthening schools through teacher training, co-teaching and co-creating literacy strategies for early primary school students, and capacity development for teachers and school administrators such that they can continue when the PCRV leaves.
