The Gardnersville situation is just the tip

"The Gardnersville situation is just the tip" - Kids2day!

Monrovia, September 7, 2009: a Liberian children development group, Kids2day! says the gross disappointment President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf met at the Goodridge School in Gardnersville (Monrovia) is just the tip of the demoralization the children of Liberia are faced with daily.

"That students in Monrovia are still fighting over chairs, and getting hurt from the process, signals worse conditions in towns ars far off and remote as SassTown, Grand Kru or Vahun in Lofa," Kids2day! official KA Kamara said.

"The media, especially the Heritage Newspaper, did a great job by reporting that disservice to the children of this country, and should be commended for that."

The further challenge is now on the President to demand a review of the changes that should have been made in the educational sector, during the years of her stewardship.

"Education in the public secor is not for profit making, and any effort aimed at making education relevant for the public must be expressed through love for country and fellow man."

Kids2day! has meanwhile commended President Sirleaf for the strong disciplinary action against Education Minister Joseph Korto and his deputies - Hester Catakaw, Emmanuel Roberts, and called for a vigorous review of expenditures on education to ensure that tax payers funds intended for the education of the future generation are being used properly.

Kids2day! has been developed to get kids to play a creative role in their development. It enhances their personal development, and lays the basis for their future.
