Capitol Hill, Monrovia – The Plenary of the House of Representatives, through a unanimous vote, has passed an Act amending the Education Reform Law of 2011 to establish rural teacher incentive fund.
Plenary took the decision on Thursday to amend the law by adding Chapter 9.2 under the title Financing Education to the existing law. The move was based on the advice of a specialized committee headed by Rep. P. Mark Jurry of Maryland County.
It can be recalled that in March 2020, Plenary discussed a “Discharge Petition” which emanated from a communication by Rep. Alexander Poure of District #1, River Gee County and mandated a specialized committee to work on the proposed amendment on the Education reform Act of 2011.
