Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b> The Liberian Cooperative Standard Education School System (LICOSESS) College of Education, Pleebo Site, in Maryland County has graduated fifty-nine (59) candidates in various disciplines in education.<\/p>\n

The graduation ceremony was held at the Pleebo City Hall on Sunday, February 22, 2026, bringing together educational stakeholders, local authorities, families and well-wishers who gathered to celebrate the academic achievements of the graduates.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the formal handover of the graduates to the relevant authorities, the Academic Dean of the LICOSESS Maryland Branch, Dr. Israel Anedo, disclosed that the graduates comprised forty-one (41) \u201cC\u201d Certificate recipients and nineteen (19) Associate of Arts (AA) Degree holders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese graduates include nineteen candidates who obtained Associate of Arts Degrees in Language Arts, Social Studies, General Science, Mathematics, and School Administration along with 41 graduating with \u201cC\u201d Certificates in General Education,\u201d Dr. Anedo stated.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, LICOSESS Maryland Site Coordinator, Emmanuel B. Chea, described the ceremony as a historic milestone for the institution, marking<\/p>\n

the first graduation of Associate of Arts Degree students and the eighth conferral of the \u201cC\u201d Certificate at the Maryland branch.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday marks a great milestone in the history of LICOSESS, especially for the Maryland branch, as we celebrate the graduation of the eighth batch of \u2018C\u2019 Certificate recipients and the first Associate of Arts Degree graduates,\u201d Mr. Chea said.<\/p>\n

During the graduation exercise, the National President of the LICOSESS, Dr. Benjamin Y. Wehye, revealed that following a careful evaluation of staff at the LICOSESS Teachers Training College, the Board of Trustees and the administration approved the extension of the Associate of Arts Degree Program based on the availability of qualified professors.<\/p>\n

Dr. Wehye further noted that he was overwhelmed by the outcome of the academic credential assessment, which revealed a significant number of qualified lecturers capable of administering courses under the AA Degree Program in the Pleebo-Sodoken District.<\/p>\n

According to him, the expansion has turned a long-held dream into reality for more than fifty-nine students in Maryland County.<\/p>\n

Delivering the keynote address on the theme: \u201cTeachers as Builders of the Mind, the Heart, the Community, and the Nation,\u201d Sr. Philomena Wredi Jappah, National Coordinator for Catholic Schools in Liberia, emphasized the critical role teachers play in both individual transformation and national development.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeachers hold the power to shape individual transformation and national development through their work and their attitude,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

LICOSESS College of Education in Maryland County continues to play a vital role in strengthening the education sector by producing trained and qualified teachers to serve classrooms across the county and beyond.<\/p>\n

The institution\u2019s expansion of academic programs reflects its growing commitment to improving teaching standards, promoting professional development and contributing to national human capacity building through quality teacher education.<\/p>\n

Stakeholders at the ceremony expressed optimism that the newly graduated educators will positively impact learning outcomes and help shape the future of Liberia\u2019s education system.<\/p>\n
