The program will be piloted this year by Peace Corps Volunteers in 10 public high schools in eight rural counties. Liberia will be the 118th country to join the globe program. The goal of this program in Liberia is to encourage more students to explore and pursue studies and careers in science, technology, math and engineering fields. Peace Corps Volunteers, who teach math and science classes, have agreed to pilot the program in rural areas to see how the program can benefit students across Liberia. The U.S. Embassy’s Public Affairs Section has donated starter kits to the 10 pilot schools, including teacher guides and materials needed for conducting research.
