The Bureau of Early Childhood Education at the Ministry of Education has launched a countywide awareness campaign on the importance of early childhood education for school-going children in Bomi County.
Providing an overview of the initiative, Assistant Minister for Early Childhood Education, Madam Fasam Howard-Nyensuah, said the campaign is aimed at encouraging parents and caregivers to invest in quality foundational education for young children.
The awareness campaign, being held under the theme “Every Child Deserves a Strong Start: Investing in Early Childhood Education, Investing in Liberia’s Future,” seeks to promote the importance of early learning and strengthen Liberia’s education sector by ensuring that children receive a solid educational foundation from an early age.
According to Assistant Minister Howard-Nyensuah, early childhood education plays a critical role in a child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
She noted that children who receive quality early education are better prepared for primary school and are more likely to succeed academically and contribute positively to national development.
Meanwhile, Deputy Minister for Instruction, Hon. Amos Armah Fully, called on parents, teachers, community leaders, and other stakeholders to actively participate in and support the ongoing awareness campaign.
He stressed that improving early childhood education requires the collective efforts of families, schools, communities, and the government.
The Ministry of Education says the campaign forms part of its broader commitment to improving access to quality education and ensuring that every Liberian child is given the opportunity to develop and reach their full potential
