Kpolokplah Public School Closes Due to Funding Crisis in Bong County
What happened
Kpolokplah Public School in Bong County is currently closed due to a funding crisis. The school operated with volunteer teachers because, according to the principal, the government never assigned staff. The school's PTA was responsible for salaries, which were paid through farming and charcoal sales. A failed harvest cut this income, leading to teachers going unpaid for six months and the school striking and closing.
Why it matters
The school's operational model was entirely dependent on the financial success of a struggling farming community. The inability of the community to sustain the school's operating costs has resulted in the suspension of the academic year for the students.
Bong County is a county located within the borders of Liberia.
