Abstract
This Country Status Report (CSR) for
Liberia is part of an ongoing series of country specific
reports being prepared by the World Bank in collaboration
with governments and development partners. The series aims
to enhance the knowledge base for policy development. This
report is intended to help engage a diverse audience on
issues and policies in the education sector and to develop a
shared vision for the future of Liberia. It is the first
sector-wide report produced on the education system in
Liberia since the end of the war. A policy options matrix
follows the executive summary, which will provide government
and partners with guidance on the key priorities to tackle.
Besides consolidating information in a policy-relevant
manner, this CSR makes a unique contribution to the
education knowledge base by documenting not only traditional
and basic indicators, such as gross enrollment rates and
retention, but also examining the performance of the
education system in terms of access, quality, equity, and
resource allocation and utilization. The report also
includes chapters on education governance and teacher
management. This report highlights the country's
significant education progress since the end of the 14-year
civil war in 2003 and the challenges that need to be addressed.
