–Wants Gov’t terminate outsourcing agreement with BIA
The Consortium of Education Defenders of Liberia (COEDEL) has called for the blocking of the government’s intention to outsource its primary and pre-primary education system to a United States (US)-based for-profit corporate actor, Bridge International Academies (BIA).
The organization’s call was made at the climax of a two-day workshop that brought together media practitioners and Civil Society Organizations (CSO) in Monrovia. Journalists were admonished to do more robust coverage on halting the commercialization and privatization of education, while CSOs were urged to join the campaign for the same cause.
