Though the senior high school education is a three year program as exists in Liberia, the subjects taught are categorized into cores and electives. The core subjects are mandatory and provide basic understanding in General Science, English, Math and Social Studies. The English paper will be core English without oral English since students have never been introduced to oral English in most schools. Under such condition, all students in Liberia will be considered to be Social Science oriented. In view of all the challenges such as shortage in qualified teachers in the senior high division, inability of senior students to construct essays and write legibly and the rather high cost of WASSCE, it is worth enquiring if Liberia is ready for the WASSCE.
