EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In Liberia after realizing the fact that education is a sure means towards the improvement of the country’s economy; it formulated the Education and Training Policy which integrated in the formal school system what was called. This is for children aged between 3 years and 18 years. The major objective is to introduce pre-schools in every primary school. The government wants these pre-schools to be run by local governments, private institutions and individuals to build and operate pre-schools. The major objective of initiating per-schools is to bring up children by promoting and enriching the experiences so far acquired by the children from community and family in such areas as religion, languages, culture, health care etc. At primary and secondary school levels the government aims at improving access and enrollment levels due to the fact that in the past the education system was characterized by high drop-out rates mainly due to poor teaching methods and good accommodation. The policy was passed by the government after realizing the fact that early childhood education leaves an imprint in the child’s mind and it is a significant factor in the mental and social development of children. The government puts stress on this type of education in its effort to develop the country’s human resources. It is from this need that Foundation For Environmental Empowerment and Development (FEED) builds its foundation to explore this opportunity by coming up with a vision of setting up the Centre for early childhood to access which will help to prevent stunted cognitive development of child and is reputed for facilitating better future performance in school. "FEED School System" will offer pre-primary education, primary education and secondary education. Secondary education will consist of ordinary level and high school level. It is estimated that first phase of its construction will be done in the first two years. INTRODUCTION The Ministry of Education Brief overview According to Liberia's Education and Training policy (1995), the Republic of Liberia has realized that quality education is the pillar of national development, for it is through education that the nation obtains skilled Manpower to serve in various sector in the nation’s economy.? It is through quality education Liberia will be able to create a strong and competitive economy which can effectively cope with the challenges of development and which can also easily and confidently adapt to the changing market and technological conditions in the region and global economy. The structure of the Formal Education and Training System in Liberia constitutes two (2) years of pre-primary education, seven (7) years of primary education, four (4) years of Junior Secondary (Ordinary Level), two (2) years of Senior Secondary (Advanced Level) and up to three (3) or more years of Tertiary Education.?

The Scope of the project proposal document This project proposal is about education centre construction of which will be known as "FEED School System". Upon completion, it will have pre-primary education, primary education and secondary education. Secondary education will consist of ordinary level and high school level.
