He emphasized that under the leadership of Education Minister Dr. Jarso Maley Jallah, the Ministry of Education is laying the groundwork for a nationwide digital transformation aimed at enhancing teaching and learning across all levels.
Konah also highlighted Liberia’s ambition to emerge as a regional leader in digital education, noting that collaboration and exposure from international forums like the Wuhan conference will play a key role in shaping policy and implementation.
The Ministry views this engagement as part of a broader strategy to modernize the country’s education system, improve access to quality instruction, and ensure students are equipped with 21st-century skills.
