Polish Aid in Liberia - supporting vocational education
18.11.2021
In November, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Abuja completed the implementation of a development project in Monrovia, Liberia.
The project was financed by the governmental program Polish Aid and implemented by the Salesians Don Bosco. The project consisted in equipping a computer lab at the Don Bosco Technical School in the capital of Liberia. The school provides education for students at all levels (grades 1 to 12). The uniqueness of the school compared to other institutions lies in the fact that all its students, in addition to learning the subjects provided in the curriculum, also benefit from classes that include learning technical skills, such as tailoring, technical drawing, embroidery, computer skills, etc. The school is attended by children and young people with different financial and social status, which promotes the principle of equal opportunities. Currently, 570 students study there. The project activities included the purchase of desktops with monitors, adapted to conduct training and use of professional programs for calculations and technical drawings. Computer desks and UPS units were also purchased to ensure continuity of work The official opening of the computer lab was attended by a representative of the Polish Embassy in Abuja, Mr. Michał Woźniacki, the 1st secretary for political and economic affairs.
