MONROVIA – UNESCO Liberia over the weekend ended a two-day workshop in Monrovia on ICT in Education, with participants building a consensus on a framework and strategy for a draft national policy on ICT in Education in country. The project titled, Enhancing Liberia Teacher Education Program through Information Communication Technology Pedagogy, has as target groups, teacher-educators, pre-service teachers and in-service teachers at the exciting four teacher training institutes in Liberia. They broadly agreed that the mission of a national ICT in Education policy is to enhance the quality of learning throughout the country. They reviewed the situation of ICT in education in Liberia with the lack of a national policy to guide and coordinate ICT in education programs in Liberia and the enormous challenges posed to development of the country’s education system. Mr. Jackson, former Assistant Education Minister for Teacher’s Education then assured them that whatever contributions they have made would go a long way in drafting the ICT in Education policy, which he said is necessary for guidance.
