The Government of Liberia is conscious of the strategic role of higher education for meeting the national manpower needs and for ushering the nation into modernity in science, technology, and development. To this end, Government should take all necessary measures to encourage and promote the partnership with the religious group, individuals and communities in this sector. Government should also encourage any new or emerging partners for as far as the scope and development of such high education institutions conform to the laws and established policies of the Republic of Liberia. Yet still, Liberia is only notable for developing lofty ideas or plans without little or no implementation thereby always wasting scarce and energies from conferences to conferences or from one workshop or seminar to another. Why all the Setbacks? The Education system of Liberia has suffer a tremendous setback as a result of the years of instability which was demonstrated through repeated civil dist

You have probably heard of the phrase: ' Family Life Education ', but have you wondered what is Family Life Education? What importance is it in the human resource development and national reconstruction agenda? Or how and why should it be introduced in a Countries national reconstruction drive? These are some of the questions that ran through my mind when I first heard of it-that which led me to do a research. Where is it from? After the fourteen (14) years of civil conflict, there is no doubt that so much of the Liberian life style and standards have been seriously affected as life was lost, infrastructure and other identities destroyed.

Abortion (an unjustifiable Act) Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo from the womb before it can survive on its own, or we will say it is the termination of a child in a mother’s womb before birth. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about spontaneous abortion, also known as miscarriage, which is the unintentional expulsion of an embryo or fetus before the 24 th week of gestation, or therapeutic abortion- less than one-tenth of one percent of the abortions done in the world today- which is performed to preserve the health or life of the mother. More women have an abortion for suitability than women who have an abortion to save their own lives Medical or chemical abortion on the other hand is purposely induced by abortifacent pharmaceuticals-this is what I’m talking about. A question, which will always be argued upon, is whether abortion is justified or not. Others will debate that when the foetus is inside the womb, it is not a person y

Social Media is a strong platform where people from all treads of life meet and interact. Each person comes from diverse background and uses the social media platform for a different reason altogether. As a result, it is important that we choose the right set of friends online as it is difficult to screen the people whom we might be interacting with. But regardless of all its positive contributions the social media has brought to the Liberian society, it also has a relatively huge   negative effects on Liberians especially the students, in work places, in our homes, in hospitals, banking halls and other Liberian service providing places. Let’s briefly take a look at the definition. According to the online dictionary, Webopidia, Social media is a term used to describe a variety of Web-based platforms, applications and technologies that enable people to socially interact with one another online.
