Ministry of Education Sets a Clear Direction for 2026

Day One of the Ministry of Education’s 2025 Annual Work Plan Retreat opened with a clear message from Minister of Education Dr. Jarso Maley Jallah: the work of the Ministry is not about offices, reports, or procedures, but about the children of Liberia.

Addressing senior leadership, directors, and staff, the Minister emphasized that 2026 must be a year of accountability. She called on departments to confront long-standing challenges, including delays in reporting, weak coordination, and planning gaps that continue to slow progress across the sector. She reminded participants that in remote communities across Liberia, children are waiting for the education system to work in their favor, and when systems delay, opportunities are lost.

Discussions on the first day focused on strengthening internal systems to ensure that plans translate into real outcomes in schools and classrooms. Key areas of focus included tighter alignment between Annual Work Plans, performance indicators, the ARREST Agenda, and the Education Sector Plan, improved inter-departmental coordination, and the introduction of tools to strengthen internal communication and track deliverables across departments.

Presentations across bureaus reinforced a shared reality: while progress has been made in 2025, significant weaknesses remain. Leadership emphasised that children cannot afford slow systems or fragmented implementation.

The retreat continues into its second day with a renewed sense of urgency, discipline, and responsibility, as the Ministry works to ensure that planning decisions made today lead to measurable improvements in education delivery across Liberia.
