When the ILAP Project began, baseline assessments revealed that many learners had limited foundational literacy skills, while many schools had little or no structured phonics instruction.

Over the past year, teachers and school leaders have been trained, coached, and supported to deliver evidence-based literacy instruction. Today, learners are progressing from letter sounds to blending, decoding, sight words, reading simple sentences, and now reading stories with confidence.

Alice, a Grade 2 learner at Christ Mission School System, shared:

"I like reading stories with my friends' and family members' names. My favorite story is The Lost Kite because my uncle's name is Toe. Reading these stories makes me happy."

Through culturally relevant literacy materials, children see themselves, their families, and their communities reflected in the stories they read.

This is why we do this work, not just to teach children how to read, but to help them discover the joy of reading.

From sounds to stories. From learning to read to loving to read.

We commend the Ministry of Education, especially the Bureau of Basic and Secondary Education for the innovative digitization of the school permit registration process. This initiative is making permit acquisition faster, more reliable, transparent, and efficient, reducing delays and simplifying the process for schools across Liberia.

In support of this national initiative, Left Bank Educational District, in collaboration with New Joy-Liberia, is providing hands-on training and technical support to school leaders and designated personnel on the digitized permit registration process for the 2026/2027 academic year. Our goal is to help schools successfully upload the required documents and obtain their permits with confidence and ease.

As an organization committed to educational excellence, New Joy-Liberia is open to partnering with District Education Offices across Liberia to support school leaders in navigating the digital permit registration process. Together, we can build digital capacity, improve efficiency, and ensure that no school is left behind.

Together, we are leveraging technology to strengthen school leadership and build a stronger education system for Liberia.

Every empowered teacher creates countless successful learners.

"I never did phonics in school. Now my students are being impacted."

This inspiring testimony demonstrates the power of investing in teachers with the right training, quality instructional resources, and continuous support.

Through the Integrated Literacy and Assessment Program (ILAP), implemented by New Joy-Liberia with generous support from Edify, teachers are transforming literacy instruction and helping children become confident readers.

Together, we are equipping teachers, empowering learners, and building a stronger Liberia, one classroom at a time.

Equipped Teachers. Confident Learners. Stronger Future.

As we conclude Semester Two with the completion of our final examinations, we give God all the glory for His faithfulness and grace.

We sincerely appreciate our dedicated lecturers and committed teacher trainees for their hard work, creativity, and excellence throughout the semester. Our ECE trainees also designed instructional decorations and visual aids that will be donated to a deserving school in the community to support effective teaching and learning.

At New Joy, we remain committed to preparing competent and compassionate educators who make a lasting impact in their classrooms and communities.

Building Teachers. Shaping the Future.

Today, our Department of Early Childhood Education held successful peer presentations based on topics from the Liberia National Early Childhood Curriculum.

Our student teachers demonstrated differentiated instruction by engaging visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners through visual aids, songs, discussions, movement, and hands-on activities.

We are proud of their growth, creativity, and commitment as we wrap up Semester Two. Congratulations to all our future educators!
