IN ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT, PRESIDENT WEAH BREAKS GROUND FOR THE EXTENSION OF GANGLOTA PUBLIC SCHOOL

In an effort to improve infrastructure development in Liberia’s educational sector, President George Weah Thursday June 3, 2021 broke ground for the extension of the Ganglota public school in Lofa County.

The project which is funded by the citizens self help initiative upon completion will be elevated from junior high to senior high level.

It is also expected to increase enrollment at that public facility due to the growing population in the area as well as ease the long distances students in the surrounding areas normally walk just to acquire secondary education.

Lofa County like other Counties in Liberia is among other things noted for producing scholars as well as placing education as high priority for its citizens including increasing in enrollment at various institutions of learning across Liberia.

Speaking at the ground breaking ceremony Thursday President Weah said the project is a manifestation of his government quest to improve the learning facilities for Liberian students in order for them to remain focused and committed to their studies.

He said his government desire is to ensure that Liberian students compete with their foreign counterparts as such his administration will endeavor to provide the necessary resources and suitable learning atmosphere for such to be realized.

The project is expected to commence soon and will be dedicated in 2022.

Meanwhile the ground breaking ceremony is part of activities marking the fourth phase of the citizens engagement County tour which started early February of 2021.
