Convened by the Ministry of Education, the meeting brought together representatives from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Transport and State, the Liberia Immigration Service, the Liberia National Police, Ministry of Health, LTA, the Liberia National Tourism Authority, and other institutions whose support will be required to receive and coordinate delegates from across Africa.
For Liberia, the conference comes at an important point in the Ministry’s work to strengthen the teaching profession. Minister of Education Dr. Jarso Maley Jallah highlighted the country’s ongoing push toward teacher certification and licensing, noting that Liberia can draw practical lessons from African countries that already have established regulatory systems.
The Minister emphasized that stronger regulation of the profession is essential to improving standards, accountability, teacher development, and confidence in the quality of education delivered to learners.
Hosting AFTRA will place Liberia at the center of continental discussions on teacher regulation, professional development, mobility, quality assurance, and the future of the profession, while giving the country an opportunity to deepen partnerships and accelerate reforms already underway at home.
The Steering Committee will now coordinate the national preparations required to host the 2027 conference and associated executive meetings.
