Message from the Minister
Dear Education Stakeholders, Colleagues and Citizens;
The Ministry of Education greets all stakeholders as we prepare for Academic 2023-2024. This year the academic
calendar is being distributed early, giving that all stakeholders including parents need to be prepared for academic
2023 – 2024, well in advance.
I am also pleased to commend education stakeholders in all categories; sponsors, public and private providers,
colleagues in higher and vocational institutions, whose service to country enable us to deliver education even during
emergencies.
This year is the year of our National Elections with a huge number of first -time voters in the school system. The
Ministry encourages all parents, school administrators, teachers and other stakeholders to guide these first time
voters to execute their civic responsibility in a peaceful and respectful manner.
Additionally, all parents, students, teachers and more importantly headmasters and school administrators, and
people of like responsibilities, are requested to think ahead, adopting innovative methods of managing academic
institutions and learning centers, standing ready, should unforeseen circumstances avail themselves.
In consonance with 2022 theme, for the Joint Education Sector Review (JESR) “Transforming Education to achieve
National Growth and Development in Liberia”, the Government of Liberia shall continue to enhance its support and
guarantee every child an education that is transformative for the individual and supportive of the corporate interest
as a nation.
The Ministry of Education shall remain committed to this process, ensuring that the personal goals of those involved
in this sector are realized within reason, as they teach the Liberian children to become relevant and productive
citizens. The overall goal is to make Liberia the place of first choice for all Liberians, especially the youth population
which we understand comprise nearly 65% of the population.
1|P age
On behalf of all education beneficiaries, I express profoundest gratitude to the Government of Liberia, Development
Partners, Private providers of education, Teachers, Principals, all school staffs, PTA Networks, private citizens and
institutions for the support given to the education delivery system of the Country.
I am privileged to serve with other Ministers in Education, Deputies, and Assistants, supported by several civil
servants (CEOs, DEOs, Directors and the like) whose commitment to the common cause of human development
remains unwavering. While we might have done well, I believe we could have done better and therefore, going
forward and with greater commitment, our combined initiatives will yield such deliverables beyond our
imagination, God being our helper.

Early Childhood Education

The Ministry of Education promotes Early Childhood Education, which is also known as nursery education. It
relates to the teaching of children from 3-5 years. When children go to school at 3 years of age, age-appropriateness
and completion of school is assured. The following shows the age-appropriate placement at the
ECD Grade Levels
Three (3) Grade Levels only!!!!!!
a. Beginners/Nursery ------ 2/1/2 --- 3 Y ears

b. Kindergarten I ------- 3 ½ --- 4 Y ears
c. Kindergarten II ------ 4 ½ --- 5 Y ears.
Indicators for Pre-School
The phrase “school readiness” means that a child is ready to enter a social environment that is focused on
learning. Many aspects of children’s lives influence their preparation for formal schooling. Some of these
aspects include cognitive, social, emotional and motor development.
38 | P a g e
Prenatal and home experiences affect these domains. School readiness covers three key areas for
success:
a. Family and Community Readiness for Child’s School

b. School Readiness for Children
c. Children Readiness for School
A preschool which reinforces school readiness for the success of a child is a successful school. Below are
some indicators of a successful preschool:
a. A clean and safe child-friendly environment

b. A child-friendly classroom that promotes active and stimulating play among children.
c. Access to hands-on materials and activities.
d. Need-based curriculum.
e. Individual and small group time with teachers and caregivers
f. Children are given an allotted time to play and explore with worksheets.
g. Children are read to by teachers (individually and in small groups)
h. Children understand number and alphabet concepts.
i. Children are provided an opportunity to play outdoors.
j. When children and parents are excited about the pre-school–they are happy to go to school
each day
k. Practitioners, parents and children feel emotionally attached.
39 | P a g e

b. Completed Application Form
c. Parent-Signed Admission Form

Suggested Teaching Strategies/Methods

ways.
c. Maximum use of toys (local or foreign) is required in Pre-School Classrooms
d. Children should be given the opportunity to share their experiences
e. Children’s work should be displayed
f. Learning should take place indoor as well as outdoor.
40 | P a g e
Suggested Materials/ Teaching Aids:

Routines
Routines in preschool classrooms include various activities such as:

1. arrival time,
2. circle time
3. mealtime
4. clean-up time
5. nap time
42 | P a g e
6. recess time
7. departure time etc.
a. Many routines, such as meals or group time, are necessary and helpful to building a consistent
classroom community. Planning is the key to successful routines.
b. Routines are like instructions—they guide children's actions toward a specific goal. Routines can be
used for many reasons, but two of the most important are ensuring children's health and safety, and
helping children learn positive, responsible behavior.
c. Routines give infants and toddlers a sense of security and stability. Routines help infants and toddlers
feel safe and secure in their environment. Young children gain an understanding of everyday events
and procedures and learn what is expected of them as routines make their environment more
predictable.
43 | P a g e
Communication
School administrators and teachers should ensure a strong and cordial relationship with the parents and
community. Communication between the school and the home is very important. Below are some sample Take -
Home Slips:

The Liberian National Anthem
❖ All Hail, Liberia, Hail!" is the National Anthem of Liberia.
❖ The lyrics were written by Daniel Bashiel Warner (1815–1880), who later became the third president of
Liberia.
❖ The music was composed by Olmstead Luca (1826–1869).
❖ It became the official national anthem upon Liberia's independence in 1847.
All Hail, Liberia Hail All Hail, Liberia Hail
Stanza I Stanza II
All hail, Liberia, hail! (All hail!) All hail, Liberia, hail! (All hail!)
This glorious land of liberty In union strong success is sure
Shall long be ours. We cannot fail!
Though new her name,
With God above
Green be her fame,
Our rights to prove
And mighty be her powers,
We will o'er all prevail,
And mighty be her powers, We will o'er all prevail,
In joy and gladness With heart and hand

With our hearts united, Our country's cause defending
We'll shout the freedom We'll meet the foe
Of a race benighted, With valor unpretending.
Long live Liberia, happy land! Long live Liberia, happy land!
A home of glorious liberty, A home of glorious liberty,
By God's command! By God's command!

Edwin Barclay
❖ Edwin J. Barclay was a politician, poet and a musician and in Liberia.

❖ In 1901, at the age of 19, Edwin wrote a Liberian patriotic song, "The Lone Star Forever."
❖ He served as Liberia’s 18th President from 1930-1944
The Lone Star Forever
When Freedom raised her glowing form A nation’s loud triumphant song, THE PLEDGE
On Montserrado’s verdant height, The song of Liberty!
And o’er Liberia’s alter fires I pledge allegiance
She set within the dome of night,
-Midst lowering skies and thunderstorm,- She raised the lone-starred flag unfurled To the Flag of Liberia
The star of Liberty! Proclaiming to an expectant world
The birth of Afric’s sons and sires And to the Republic
And seizing from the waking morn, The birth of Liberty For which it stands
Its burnished shield of golden flame,
She lifted it in her proud name, Chorus One nation, indivisible
And roused a nation long forlorn, With liberty, and
To nobler destiny! Verse 3
Chorus Then forward sons of freedom March justice for all
The lone star forever, Defend the sacred heritage,
The lone star forever! The nation call from age to age
O long may it float o’er land and o’er seas! Where’re it sounds ‘neath heaven’s arch
Desert it, no never! Wherever foes assail
Uphold it, forever! Be ever ready to obey
O shout for the lone star’d banner — all
‘Gainst treason and rebellion’s front
hail!
‘Gainst foul aggression in the brunt
Verse 2 Of battle lay the hero’s way
Then speeding in her course along All hail Lone Star all hail
The broad Atlantic’s golden strand,
97 |She
