MONROVIA – The Government of Liberia recognizes the financial difficulties private school teachers are experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which intensified in the country earlier this year. The government gathers that some owners of private schools, including faith-based schools, have been unable to pay their teachers and faculties since February 2020, owing to limited or no tuition payment. This is the Government’s way of assisting private schools and their teachers prepare for the resumption of normal school activities. Private School Systems are also required to submit evidence of the last payment of withholding on income tax to the Liberia Revenue Authority. As the government exerts effort to make these payments, it extends thanks and appreciation to teachers of private schools and encourages them to support their respective institutions.
