Borlorla Town, Sanoyea

No Child Left Behind

A Primary School for Borlorla Town

The decision to establish the NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND rural community program this year in Borlorla Town, Sanoyea District, Bong County, was made following assessments of two other rural communities to identify the community in the highest need of the NCLB-Liberia Program with the following as triggering factors to selecting a community: Lack of School/ Educational facilities within the community, cases of out-of-school children present due to financial crisis faced by the child’s/children’s parents and/or distance barrier experienced by the kids to access the nearby educational facility or school.

Our first community engagement meeting in Borlorla Town was held on May 29, 2023. This meeting brought together a little over twenty two (22) community members including the town leadership, youth head and elders. The purpose of this meeting was to share with the community, the mission and objectives of the NCLB-Liberia Program and seek the interest of the community to embrace the establishment of our program in Borlorla Town. The meeting ended successfully with the consensus of the entire township headed by Mr. Joseph Fahn, Town Chief of Borlorla. They assured to provide the spaces for the classes and recommended two individuals to apply for the teacher position.

Another meeting was held shortly after with the recommended teachers describing the roles of the NCLB-Program teaching staffs and the application requirements. In attendance, were the Town Chief and the two recommended teachers.

First town meeting to start a primary school in Borlorla Town.

On the 9th of June, 2023, an official trip was made from Monrovia to Borlorla Town to get the following tasks done: Identification and profiling information of the kids between 4 years old and 12 years old to the program and application process of the teachers recommended by the community and filling in of the NCLB Rural Community Partnership Application Form. The total number of kids recruited is fifty (50) from Borlorla Town and two nearby small towns (Naypay’s Town and Manakporlorsue).

The Teachers’ application process was also completed and collected for submission. The NCLB Rural Community Partnership Application Form was filled in by the Town Chief of Borlorla Township, Mr. Joseph Fahn, on the same day. The fifty students will be sorted into two classes with a teacher assigned to a maximum of 25 (twenty-five) students per class.
