Peters<\/p>\n<p>Congo Town, February 12, 2026 \u2013 The University of Liberia College of Health Sciences (ULCHS-CTL), through its Center for Teaching, Learning and Innovation at the A.M. Dogliotti School of Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Public Health, has spotlighted, honored, and celebrated four rural teachers for their dedicated service and sacrifice in molding the minds of Liberia\u2019s younger generation.<\/p>\n<p>The honorees were recognized for their teaching and volunteer work in conducting laboratory activities in rural Liberia, demonstrating passion and commitment despite not receiving salaries. The four teachers were spotlighted during a day-long Teaching Day celebration that highlighted educators\u2019 achievements and contributions to the Liberian education system.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Teaching Day was held under the theme: \u201cTeaching Excellence and Innovation: Celebrating Resilience and Spotlighting Rural Teachers.\u201d The program, hosted on the Medical School Campus on Thursday, February 12, 2026, brought together medical doctors, teachers, lecturers, professors, policymakers, international partners, and medical students.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its second iteration, Teaching Day was created to unite educators and policymakers, not only to celebrate teachers\u2019 achievements but also to address challenges, share solutions, and design innovative approaches\u2014especially within resource-constrained environments.<\/p>\n<p>In her special remarks, University of Liberia President Dr. Layli Maparyan emphasized that Teaching Day is more than an event on the academic calendar. \u201cIt is a statement of values,\u201d she said, affirming that teaching and educators matter and that the future of Liberia depends on the quality, creativity, and commitment of those shaping minds and molding character, often under the most challenging conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Maparyan further noted that this year\u2019s theme is timely and relevant, especially for its focus on rural teachers. \u201cTeaching excellence should not be defined only by global rankings, sophisticated technologies, or ideal classroom conditions. In Liberia, it is expressed in more profound ways\u2014in lecturers who adapt complex concepts to limited resources without compromising rigor, and in teachers who arrive early and stay late despite poor roads, delayed salaries, or overcrowded classrooms,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Minister for Teacher Education at the Ministry of Education, Clifford Konah, Jr., expressed gratitude to the organizers and praised teachers, particularly those in rural areas. \u201cThis theme resonates deeply with the realities and aspirations of Liberia\u2019s educational system. It calls us to recognize the tireless efforts of educators, especially in rural and underserved communities, whose resilience and innovation sustain our society,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He described teaching as a noble profession that requires mastery of subject matter, a passion for nurturing young minds, a commitment to equity, and a dedication to lifelong learning. Konah emphasized that excellence in teaching extends beyond the classroom, encompassing the ability to inspire, motivate, and empower students to become responsible citizens and agents of change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Liberia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
