Ministry of Education Commends President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. for Allocating Blocked Salaries to the “One Child, One Chair” Initiative

Monrovia, Liberia – March 18, 2025

The Ministry of Education extends its profound gratitude to His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., President of the Republic of Liberia, for his unwavering leadership in prioritizing the welfare of Liberian students through the reallocation of funds from non-compliant Blocked Salaries to the One Child, One Chair Presidential Initiative.

This bold and transformative decision underscores the government’s commitment to creating a modern, inclusive, and student-centered educational system, ensuring that every child learns in a safe, comfortable, and dignified environment.

Across Liberia, thousands of students struggle daily with inadequate classroom seating, a challenge that significantly impacts their ability to focus, engage, and thrive academically.

The One Child, One Chair initiative directly addresses this pressing issue, ensuring that children—regardless of their location or background—have access to proper seating that fosters concentration, participation, and academic excellence. A chair is more than just a piece of furniture; it is an essential foundation for learning, discipline, and student well-being.

Under the leadership of President Boakai, the Ministry of Education, in close collaboration with the Civil Service Agency (CSA), will drive the swift and transparent procurement and distribution of chairs to schools in the greatest need.

This strategic intervention is designed to remove barriers to learning, enabling students to receive an education in an atmosphere that supports growth, creativity, and success.

By investing in Liberia’s children, this initiative aligns seamlessly with the government’s ARREST AGENDA, reinforcing a nationwide commitment to quality, equitable, and accessible education.

The government continues to take decisive steps toward bridging educational disparities, ensuring that the nation’s future leaders receive the support they need to excel.

The Ministry of Education commends President Boakai’s decisive action and extends its appreciation to the Government of Liberia for recognizing that education is the cornerstone of national development.

This initiative is more than an investment in infrastructure—it is an investment in Liberia’s future, shaping a generation of students who will lead with knowledge, confidence, and purpose.
