Fargo, ND, March 19, 2015: The
North Dakota Branch of the United Nimba Citizen Council (UNICCO) is moving fast
to identify training opportunities for instructors of the Nimba County Community
College. This move is contingent upon the discussion between Liberian President
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and a delegation of the UNICCO, headed by North Dakota
UNICCO President Anthony Wehyee. The meeting took place in Monrovia in March
2014 in the office of the Liberian President.
UNICCO-ND President Wehyee says he has concluded
discussion with the Williston State College for one instructor with a
background in Mathematics and Science to travel to Williston, North Dakota to
participate in a training program. The President of the College, Dr. Raymond
Nadolny has assured Mr. Wehyee that once the instructor has finally arrived,
the college will take actions to make the studies smooth and rewarding.
The new shift to find training opportunities for
the Nimba Community College instructors was based on President Sirleaf
statement last year during the UNICCO-President meeting. President Sirleaf
reminded them that one can put up all the schools around the country, but if
there are no qualified teachers, there will still be problems. “That’s the
problem we’re facing in schools right now with the poor quality of education.
We do not have qualified teachers,” she pointed out, noting that unless the
human resource capacity is expanded there’s no way a country can achieve the
full goal it wants.
