What happened in Action Week 2009? Global Action Week was coordinated by LETCOM in two of Liberia's 15 counties: Montserrado County and Gbarpolu County, where communities actively participated in the activities, parades and indoor programs.
The Big Read was done simultaneously in Monrovia and Bpoulu by students. The theme was 'Adult youth literacy for poverty reduction in Liberia'.
What happened in Action Week 2008? Action Week started with a radio talk show about the World's Biggest Lesson. A series of workshops were held on the issue of providing quality education for all and the status of EFA in Liberia. The National Teachers’ Association of Liberia (NTAL) which chairs the National Coalition of LETCOM organised a full programme of activities that were well attended by politicians and other educational stakeholders.
Radio shows spread awareness about Action Week, and a televised debate was held where Education International was invited to moderate. At the World’s Biggest Lesson, held at the University of Liberia, speeches from students appealed for better access for girls and children with disabilities,. These were followed by a speech from Emmanuel Fatoma, from Education Internation’s Africa Office who highlighted the key role of education in consolidating peace and reconciliation and achieving social cohesion in the region.
On the streets of Monrovia, a march in support of Education for All took place, with NTAL providing T-shirts, flags and refreshments for participating students and teachers.
