Monrovia – The More for Education Coalition Partners, a conglomerate of civil society organizations, has raised serious concerns about the approved budget for the education sector for fiscal year 2019\2020. The Coalition’s members are the Coalition for Transparency and Accountability in Education (COATOE), the National Parents and Teachers Association of Liberia (NAPTANOL), Youth Coalition for Education in Liberia (YOCEL), Inclusive Development Initiative (IDI) and the National Teachers Association of Liberia (NTAL). Taken on a regional scale, Liberia’s funding to education lags far behind regional neighbors,” said Anderson Miamen, while reading a press statement on behalf of the More for Education Coalition Partners. This leaves us to wonder why Liberia is failing to invest considerably in education while others are investing in building a vibrant education sector. Government has to muster the political will to achieve minimum 20 percent budgetary allotment to education,” Miamen said.
