Liberia's application for US$10 million COVID-19 funding to support the interventions of the Ministry of Education to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on the education sector.

The Ministry of Education’s plan prioritizes protection of lives, continuity of learning in the face of school closure, provision of health, nutrition, child protection guidance and messaging as well as community engagement and psycho-social support to learners, parents, caregivers, and school personnel including teachers. The plan is forward looking as it outlines interventions to facilitate school re-opening, recovery and system strengthening to allow access to quality education for all. It also aims to bridge the gap in student learning and eventually ensure all safety measures are in place for the re-opening of all education institutions across the country.
