Working with Untrained Teachers and Temporary Volunteers in Liberia
The government of Liberia plans to train a total of 11,641 out of 23,440 untrained teachers by 2010. Thus, by 2010, the percentage of trained primary teachers would reach the plan target of increasing the number of qualified teachers by 50% (Education Sector Review Report, 2009). At the same time, Plan Liberia seeks to ensure the facilitation of field based In-service training for teachers in 3 counties of Liberia. Thus our engagement in this project process is necessary to reduce the large percentage of untrained teachers in schools.
