…Gender Holds Strategic Meeting With 60 School Principals
(Monrovia, September 3, 2025) — On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, through its flagship Save the Future Project, convened a pivotal Educational Stakeholders Engagement Meeting with sixty (60) school principals from across Montserrado County in attendance.
The gathering was held at the Ministry Of Gender, Children And Social Protection-Liberia EJS Ministerial Complex, Congo Town.
Out of the 60 schools represented, 18 were public institutions representing 30% and 42 were private representing 70%, reflecting a diverse coalition of educational partners committed to supporting the reintegration of children previously living in street situations. The meeting served as a strategic preparatory exercise ahead of formal enrollment into mainstream education programs. Amongst those representing the different schools were 17 females representing 27.33% and 43 males representing 73.7%.
In addition to reviewing the project’s code principles and eligibility criteria for school participation, principals were formally introduced to a synchronized school-level reporting format. This standardized framework is designed to ensure seamless, consistent, and evidence-based reporting across all participating institutions, as we as strengthening accountability, comparability, and strategic oversight. The format will guide schools in documenting enrollment, retention, academic progress, psychosocial support, and reintegration outcomes under the Save the Future Project.
Key eligibility criteria for school partnership include:
1.Valid Business Registration Certificate
2.Valid Tax Clearance Certificate
3.Ministry of Education Operational Permit
4.Institutional Bank Account
5.Child-Friendly Learning Environment (preferably fenced)
6.Adequate Playground Facilities
7.Established Child Protection Policy
This dual emphasis on compliance and reporting readiness marks a significant step toward institutionalizing child protection-centered practices across Liberia’s education sector.
The Save the Future Project continues to serve as a transformative platform for inclusive education and child empowerment.
