Former assistant minister for culture Louise W. McMillian-Siaway has called on school administrators to pay keen interest to the educational activities of their students, advising them to make visits to the newly renovated and reopened Liberia National Museum. Siaway added that under her administration, school administrators were sent communications urging them to bring students to the museum, but the lack of interest from them complicated things. “Now that the museum is renovated, I hope they rethink their decision by setting museum field trips for the students. They need to understand that by visiting the museum, students makes connections to prior knowledge that educate them about historical events and engage them to think outside the box. It is sad and frustrated that Liberian children are missing lots of these benefits due to their school administrators,” Min.
