MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Education Minister, Dr. Jarso Jallah, has called for structural reforms to ensure women gain influence, visibility, and leadership opportunities across Liberia’s education sector.
Minister Jallah stressed that women’s advancement depends not only on personal competence but also on institutional systems that shape opportunity distribution daily.
The minister highlighted persistent patterns where capable women manage responsibilities effectively yet remain excluded from key decisions and leadership exposure opportunities.
She described this imbalance as a structural gap requiring deliberate action from leadership and institutions to promote fairness and transparency everywhere.
Dr. Jallah urged women to strengthen professional skills, maintain discipline, communicate clearly, and build credibility through consistent performance in their respective roles. The MOE Boss made the statement on Friday, April 24, 2026, during programs marking the induction of the Ministry of Education Women Association at the ministry’s Congo Town office.
In a related development, Education Minister, Dr. Jarso Jallah, emphasized that leadership structures must evolve to recognize talent fairly and create transparent pathways supporting women’s professional development nationwide.
She pledged her commitment to examining ministry systems to ensure fair responsibility assignments and equitable leadership opportunities for deserving professional women.
Dr. Jallah encouraged the Ministry of Education Women Association to function strategically rather than socially to strengthen mentorship and institutional accountability efforts.
She urged members to identify workplace patterns affecting progress and engage leadership constructively to implement practical solutions, improving professional outcomes collectively.
The minister also stressed the importance of wellness, advising professional women to rest adequately and prioritize personal health alongside career ambitions consistently.
She encouraged women to pursue wisdom, collaboration, and intentional leadership to increase their influence and impact across Liberia’s education system.
Earlier, MOE Women Association President, Evelyna Kandakai, emphasized collective commitment as essential to building a strong and structured professional women’s platform.
She explained that the association was created through the vision of Education Minister Jarso Maley Jallah to strengthen women’s collaboration nationwide.
Kandakai stated that the association conducted its first democratic election on February tenth, twenty twenty-six, ushering in the current leadership successfully.
She noted that the organization operates under four guiding pillars supporting capacity development, welfare, partnerships, and transparent governance systems nationwide.
MOEWA’s president expressed appreciation to the Elections Commission for organizing a transparent process that ensured credible leadership selection within the association.
She concluded by urging members to remain disciplined, united, and committed to ensuring long-term success and sustainability of the association.
