Says over 4,395 persons earmarked to benefit
The Government through the Ministry of Education (MOE) in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) has begun the disbursement of US$1 million Stimulus honorarium to private-school teachers in Liberia.
The disbursement, which started on Wednesday, December 23, 2020, is in fulfillment of recent pronouncement made by President George Manneh Weah in recognizing the financial difficulties private school teachers were experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that intensified in the country earlier this year.
The honorarium, which according to the MOE, is also being paid to legitimate private-school teachers as the Government of Liberia’s appreciation of their selfless and invaluable contribution in molding the minds of the upcoming generation during the peak of COVID-19.
