Monrovia – The Ministry of Education (MOE) has fined the Firestone Liberia School System LRD 500,000 for violating national graduation regulations by including ineligible students in its ceremony.
In a statement issued today, MOE said “Partnerships with schools remain central to delivering quality education, but partnership does not mean exemption from the rules.”
MOE called on every institution, public or private, to comply with its standards that “protect fairness, credibility, and the future of our children.”
This action is part of the Ministry’s broader reform agenda to strengthen accountability and raise learning outcomes. “We call on parents, school administrators, County and District Education Officers, and the public to join us in safeguarding standards.”
The MOE admonished everyone to report any suspected violations immediately through their local education office or the national hotline (1416).
“Together, let us uphold standards that prepare students for real success, not ceremonial shortcuts,” the MOE statement concluded.
