🌟 PEAL EDUCATOR OF THE MONTH – APRIL 2026 🌟

The Professional Educators Association of Liberia (PEAL) is proud to honor Dr. Benjamin Yele Wehye as Educator of the Month – April 2026 in recognition of his exemplary leadership, professionalism, and transformative contributions to teacher education and national education reform in Liberia.

Dr. Wehye is a visionary education leader, policy analyst, and reform advocate whose impact continues to shape Liberia’s educational landscape. As President of LICOSESS College of Education, he has spearheaded institutional transformation, strengthened teacher preparation, advanced curriculum reform, and elevated the institution into a recognized degree-granting college committed to quality and relevance in education.

In April 2026, under his leadership, LICOSESS graduated over 1,200 teachers and educators with various credentials in education, including C-Certificates, Associate Degrees, and Bachelor’s Degrees—with the majority being females. This historic achievement is considered one of the largest graduations of trained educators by a private teacher education institution in Liberia’s history.

Widely respected for his passion for educational excellence, Dr. Wehye has consistently championed access, quality, professionalism, and innovation within Liberia’s education sector. His leadership and scholarship have contributed significantly to national conversations on educational policy reform, teacher development, and institutional resilience.

A recipient of the prestigious USAID-Liberia Development Award for Best Teacher in Liberia (2023–2025), Dr. Wehye also serves on several influential national and regional education platforms, including:
▪️ Liberia’s National Education Advisory Board (appointed by H.E. President Joseph N. Boakai)
▪️ West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Board
▪️ African Regional Education System Resilience Observatory (ARESRO) Advisory Board

PEAL celebrates Dr. Wehye not only for his achievements, but for his unwavering commitment to building a stronger, more responsive, and transformative education system for Liberia and Africa.

Congratulations, Dr. Benjamin Yele Wehye! 🎉
