Liberian leader George Manneh Weah has called on Liberians, specifically parents, to make education a top priority for their children.
Weah said the nation depends on the children for its future development.
Executive Mansion quotes the president as saying while there might be challenges, parents should leave no stone unturned in exploring every possibility and infusing the last ounce of their resources to ensuring children get access to quality education, adding, “Education delayed should not be education denied.”
“I am proud to be part of this all-important initiative which is being undertaken by SMART Liberia,” the President said. “I agree with those who say education is the essence of life; but I want go further to say education is life.”
“I know that education is important,” the President stressed. “That’s why I want to encourage everyone, every Liberian, particularly those who might still be behind on the education ladder, that education delayed should not be education denied. It doesn’t matter what you do, but as time goes by, you must return to the classroom so you can be of help to yourself and the nation.”
He thanked the management of SMART Liberia for their innovative programs aimed at developing the full potential of young people, assuring them that his administration is ready to partner with the institution to reach its goal.
SMART Liberia is a platform established by young innovative Liberians to empower young people with skills development in order to achieve their dreams of becoming useful citizens.
