UN Provides Learning/Teaching Kits for Students in Liberia
The United Nation Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has begun distributing the first batch of 700,000 teaching and learning kits to thousands of schools across Liberia after education was disrupted as a result of the Ebola outbreak last year.
A UN statement issued on Saturday, June 6, in New York quoted UNICEF spokesperson, Christopher Boulierac, as saying that the kits would help ensure the continuity of education and learning for students in Liberia.
He stated that the agency has been exclusively responsible for packing 700,000 kits and working with Liberia’s Ministry of Education to distribute those materials to all of the identified schools.
Boulierac further stated that the distribution process is expected to continue for the next four months and 800,000 children had returned to school since the reopening in February.
