According to Mr. Julius Kullie Kanubah, the threat is specifically related to the 30 March 2021 decision of the Ministry of Education of Liberia. The Ministry, in a policy statement, had issued “rules” to regulate, administer, and decide upon what it calls “all international scholarships” and the “standardize tests and final interviews” associated with international scholarships. Minster Sonii and his team must not turn themselves into militia Ministers, erecting and operating disciplinary check-points as they are now purposely transforming the Education Ministry into, Mr. Kanubah warns. If President Weah and his administration are attempting to remove structurally violent barriers to public University education in Liberia at undergraduate level, it is paradoxically dishonorable that the George Weah administration through the Education Ministry will knowingly erect what amounts to a violent structure (rule) targeting students seeking advanced education internationally after undergraduate studies, for example, from the Weah-administration public University tuition free education. – that Liberia is not serious to allow its citizens to freely benefit from advanced education abroad through competition with other international students across the world for scholarships.
