A Call To The Government Of Liberia For The Introduction Of Telecommunications And ICT Curriculum In Universities, Colleges, And High Schools
The inclusion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) issues in the curriculum and provision of these technologies in our schools have raised many issues of concern to educators, parents, and politicians.
