Project Description:

The Mastercard Foundation Leaders in Teaching (LIT) initiative aims to transform secondary education across Africa by strengthening secondary-level teaching and learning so that young people have the 21st-century skills and competencies needed for employment, lifelong learning, and adult life. The initiative works closely with local and national stakeholders in African countries and supports teachers and school leaders over the lifespan of their careers with a focus on recruitment, training, and motivation that prepares them to deliver quality and relevant learning.

Education Development Center (EDC) is coordinating and implementing the Leaders In Teaching Liberia program in Liberia in collaboration with a consortium of over 10 local education partners and the Ministry of Education, focusing on all four LIT programmatic pillars:

1) Teacher Recruitment;
2) Teacher Training;
3) Education Leadership and Management; and
4) Teacher Motivation. Each program component under the respective LIT pillars will be implemented with a strong focus on inclusion and gender equity, addressing the unique needs of marginalized young women, youth with disabilities, and refugee students in underserved communities.

LIT aims to strengthen the quality of teaching and learning by providing holistic support across the teacher lifecycle, improving pre- and in-service teacher training in secondary education across Liberia, increasing access and completion, raising learning outcomes with a focus on STEM, preparing future and work-ready youth, and strengthening the capacity of the education system to manage and supervise teacher professional development.

EDC will oversee program management and provide technical quality assurance, including the assessment and modification of curricula, as needed. Additionally, EDC will conduct targeted capacity-strengthening activities for local partners, empowering them to take the lead in implementing sustainable, locally led education solutions that will strengthen Liberia’s education system beyond the life of the program. As the primary point of contact with the Ministry of Education at the central level, EDC will ensure a coordinated approach among all partners, leveraging lessons learned and tools from Mastercard Foundation’s regional African partners operating in the country.
